"Which isn't a tyrannical or inappropriate action if the president sees the act as unconstitutional."

There is nothing in the Constitution that gives a president that power. Now the president can veto a law. But said president is also bound by a law unless the Supreme Court declares the law unconstitutional. In no way, shape or form is the president given the authority to decide a particular law doesn't apply. That isn't how our system is put together.
