That question makes no sense. "Omitting" means leaving out; ignoring.
The President can "veto" legislation that has been passed by the House and Senate, which veto may be overriden by 2/3 vote in house and senate.
(Some would argue that Bush has been ignoring the law in his "War on Terror" and the War on Iraq, but that would be an illegal act.")
Courts, particularly the Supreme Court, can declare laws unconstitutional, and thus unenforceable. That would be another kind of "omission." But I just don't know what you're talking about.

Your terminology is wrong so I am not sure what you mean.
Congress makes laws and passes them. The president can either approve the law or veto it and send it back. The judiciary can rule on the consitutionality of laws.

OMITS? or Disregards?
Yes, the President can OMIT HIMSELF from certain laws, it's called Executive Privilege...but ONLY while he's in office.

Nobody is above the laws of the land! President of the country is no exception!
