It is not generally known, but any citizen including the president can present bills or ideas for bills to congress. It may not be easy, and ideas perceived as harebrained won't get far. If you are a US citizen then there are US senators and representatives who are there for you. Give them your ideas; that's what representation means. The president has an inside track and can find congress persons to sponsor and/or coauthor legislation that he is interested in, but that should not keep you from voicing your ideas.

Not exactly-- it is the Legislative branch (congress) which makes the laws. But a president can, and does, advocate for certain legislation to be passed, so that he can sign it into law. Since the president is the head of his political party, he may have certain policy items that he wants congress to pass. He will champion those policies, and try to persuade congress to act upon them.
