The President explains to Congress why the bill is needed.
The President often addresses the public via television to persuade each citizen to call or write his/her U.S. Senators and Representative in support of a bill.
When addressing a particular Congress Person, the President might agree to publicly support a bill that the Congress Person has sponsored in exchange for his/her support of the bill the President is pushing.

∙ 12y agoThe President can do several things to try to influence Congress to pay a bill. He can make speeches to Congress and to the public and ask them to contact their congressmen and senators. He can contact individual congressmen and promise to help them by campaigning for them and by spending federal money in their states and districts. Just inviting a Congressman to the White House or even a phone call can have an effect- such is the mystique of the president. As head of his party, he has special power over the members of his party- he can get them more campaign funding or cut off national campaign funds.

How do you know that bill is originated by the congress or president?
Bills can be passed into law only by the congress; the president can not create any bills. The President could write a proposed bill and get some member of Congress to introduce it and if this happens, you might say the president originated a bill. However, no bill of any importance goes through Congress without substantial changes and usually the House and Senate produce different versions of the bill which must be rectified into one. If the president said before hand that he was going to push certain legislation and if he makes a strong effort to twist arms and spend political capital to get it passed, you might give him credit for originating it.
