Is the president the only person of the united states that can propose an amendment to the constitution?

No. Any citizen of the United States can propose a Constitutional Amendment, but it won't formally enter the process of amending the Constitution until either Congress or the State Legislatures take it up. That process doesn't include any input from the President at all. In fact, the President may share his opinion of a Constitutional Amendment, but he may not veto it or in any way interfere with the process. Furthermore, the Courts have no jurisdiction over the process of ratifying a Constitutional Amendment either. If you consider Congress and the State Legislatures to be representatives of the people's will, then only the People may formally ratify a Constitutional Amendment. This is best represented by the 18th and 21st Amendments and how the People decided to amend the Constitution and then decided to undo the same Amendment.

If congress proposes a law does three-fourths of the states must ratify it or it will not become a law?

The process you are referring to is the ratification of a constitutional amendment, not a regular law. According to Article V of the U.S. Constitution, if Congress proposes a constitutional amendment, it must be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states in order to become law. This is a higher threshold than the usual process for passing laws, which only requires a simple majority in both houses of Congress.
