who requires that every bill order and resolution be presented to the president?
No not every bill is presented unless it is passed by congress. Congress is in charge of making laws. The president only approves the bill or not, but he doesn't make law. This insures that the president doesn't become a king or dictator. Lately we have had a man in the executive branch who doesn't understand this concept and has tried to make laws without congress. The end result is these actions have gone to the federal courts.

Can the US Congress put the President on trial?
Congress can only conduct impeachment proceedings against the President. The House of Representatives votes whether to impeach (bring charges against), and the Senate conducts a trial to determine whether the President should be removed from office. This is purely a political process, and carries no penalty other than removal. Congress cannot bring criminal or civil charges against the President or put him (or her) on trial in any other sense of the word. A US President may be tried in the courts for personal wrongdoing under the same conditions as any other citizen.
