No. The government has a balance of power that prevents a president from just making up a law and doing it. He can suggest a law, take it to congress and go through the entire process of passing the bill into law.
Yes, the President of the U.S. has a limited law power called "Executive Orders". Essentially it allows the President to override congress until such a time as congress enacts a law. Let's say for example that during the passage of a new law, the bill language contained a provision that would make Murder legal. Well, the President as a law enforcer cannot morally or constitutionally allow murder, so he has executive power though his executive orders to make murder illegal. An executive order is not permanent.
