Does the president make any laws?

No. It's the Congress who write the bills. And the president signs the bills.

However, the president is in charge of enforcing laws that Congress has made and he has a great deal of leeway in how or if laws are enforced. He issues directives to federal workers on how to interpret and carry out laws. In that sense, he makes laws.

Has Obama made any new laws?

A president cannot make laws. Only congress can do that. A president can sign something into law, or he can veto it. All presidents, including President Obama, have certain priorities and they hope congress will turn those priorities into laws, but it doesn't always happen the way a president might want it to.

Did Barack Obama made new laws?

No, he did not. Under the American system of government, a president can propose or suggest a new policy, and he can advocate for something he would like to see become a law. But he cannot make any laws. Only congress can do that. Congress votes on a bill, and if the bill gets enough votes, it becomes a law. After that happens, the president can either sign it or veto it. But the laws themselves still come from the congress.
