No, according to the government, the House of Representatives has to vote on it, then if that passes, then the senators, then the governors, then the President. That's just how the government works.
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.
