Is the president allowed to prepare a bill?
The President of the US is also the leader of his own political party (at the present time, Barack Obama is the leader of the Democratic Party) and therefore, if the President wants legislation to be introduced in Congress, he can ask the members of his party who are in Congress to do so. Nothing would prevent him from writing the bill himself, if he so desired. It is then still up to Congress to pass it, amend it, or reject it.
