As the branch of the government which makes and passes laws, levies taxes, as well as declares war, Congress impacts us more than any other part of the federal system. Our elected members of Congress are to represent our opinions, and vote for legislation that will be benefit us, and against that which does not. If they fail to do so, we have the ability, through the voting process, to replace them with someone else who will fulfill the goal.
Although only Congress has the actual power to make laws, the president (chief legislator) can voice his/her own ideas and opinions to Congress while they draft legislation. The President does this through speeches, promoting his/her agenda and by meeting with Congress to discuss policy.
The minority opinions of today might be the majority opinions of tomorrow so it's good to let your opinions be heard for the future.
there are many criticisms of congress. and as long as there is a body of power at all, there will be criticisms. but out of the many aimed at congress, two stand out among the rest.

The President can let his opinions be known to Congress by making a speech, telling the press, or in private messages to Congressmen. He can call a meeting with leaders of Congress when important legislation comes up and discuss his feelings with them. Of course, if a bill passes, he can veto it if he disapproves it.
