The short answer is yes, but before it can pass a law they have to have the authority to do so. Congress can only pass a law if the United States Constitution has expressly given that area to them to control or regulate. Recently Congress has taken an expansive view of the Commerce Clause to regulate commerce between the states to expand their authority. The United States Constitution states that any powers not reserved for the federal government is provided to the states.
Congress decides which laws get to pass but the president of the United States gets to create them. It is still up to congress though if they pass or not.
Congress does not concern itself with state law. However, states can not nullify federal law not can they pass laws that violate the US Constitution. The courts grant relief if the states pass improper legislation.
