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.

No, earnest means characterized by a firm and humorless belief in the validity of your opinions.
