Annually, The President gives an address/speech to Congress in which he outlines HIS views of the state of the union. The President is not a Dictator (yet), and his "recommendations" are exactly that - recommendations (i.e.: suggestions) as to what he believes would be a prudent way to proceed with governing the nation.
ANY citizen, even the President, can make 'recommendations" to Congress. It is the political power embodied in the Presidency that makes his "recommendations" significant, but these recommendations/suggestions carry no force of law.

What are powers the president has to get congress to do what he wants?
This all depends on the Congress and the President. If the president's party has the majority in Congress, he generally works with the majority leaders to get his agenda through Congress. If the president's party is the minority party in Congress, he uses two tools: obstructionism from the minority leadership (the filibuster, and loading up bills with things the majority hates in an attempt to get them tabled), and the veto.
