What happened to the US when Millard Fillmore was president in 1849-1850?
Actually, Millard Fillmore's predecessor, Zachary Taylor, was U.S. President from 1849 to 1850. As Vice President, Millard Fillmore took over when Zachary Taylor died in 1850, and he completed the term to which President Taylor was elected, which ended in 1853. When I think of Millard Fillmore, I think of how the Compromise of 1850 backfired. The north thought it gave too much to the south, and the south thought it gave too much too the north. It was supposed to placate both sides, but instead it had the exact opposite effect. California, which became a U.S. state in 1850, was the last state to be admitted that was not previously an organized U.S. territory or part of an existing U.S. state. The main reason that the usual territorial period was bypassed in the case of California was the gold rush that started there in 1849. It's because it started in 1849 that the huge number of people who migrated to California at that time to try to get some of that gold for themselves were called 49ers.

Why do presidents have to make laws with congress?
Actually, presidents do not make the laws. Only congress can make the laws. Presidents will promote or push their priorities and try to encourage congress to turn those priorities into laws. Presidents need to work closely with congress, since no bills will pass unless congress agrees to pass them, no matter how much a president might want something done.

What laws did President Obama pass concerning freedom of speech?
President Obama cannot pass any laws; no president can. Laws are passed by congress, and then either signed or vetoed by the president. That said, presidents can (and do) advocate for certain laws, and try to encourage congress to pass them. There are many laws that President Obama would like to see congress pass, but he has not said anything about laws concerning freedom of speech. But you may be referring to the re-authorization of a law that allows the Secret Service to arrest protesters if they come too close to a restricted zone. That is a controversial law that was signed under President Bush, and many civil libertarians disagree with what a "restricted zone" is. In any event, President Obama did re-authorize that law.
