I will tell you the process for a bill to become a law. Citizens find a problem or a want and tells their representative. He then takes it to congress and they vote on it. If it passes, it goes to the president. That is called a bill. If it doesn't pass the whole thing is scraped. If the president doesn't like the bill it goes back to congress. They vote again and if so many people vote yes they over rule the president and it becomes a law. If they don't vote yes the whole bill is scraped. You can stop this early if the president says yes the first time around.
Congress has two parts, they are the house of representatives and the senate. The president makes sure the laws are carried out. The supreme court makes sure the laws are fair.

If you are talking about the British laws the Government makes them
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. He issues directives to federal workers on how to interpret and carry out laws. In that sense, he makes laws.
The major responsibility of the Congress is to make and create laws for government.
The Legislative branch (congress) makes the laws - but the president of the US can either approve of the law, which enforces the law into action, or it can veto the law, which Congress can then override the veto with a 2/3 majority vote.The straight answer would just be Congress. The indirect answer would be Congress and the Executive branch (president).
Yes, in a way. Congress makes the laws and essentially tells the president how to run the nation. The president is the CEO- his job is to carry out the will of Congress, although he can exert influence on Congress to get them to do what he wants.
Go back to American History 101--the Congress makes the laws. That means the House of Representatives and the Senate actually write the laws. The President can cnly sign them into law or veto them and then execute them--thus Congress is the legislative branch and the President is the executive branch.
Congress makes laws for the nation
Congress has many responsibilities. The main and primary responsibilities of Congress are making laws for the United States of America.
The US president puts forward a bill to House of Representatives then it goes to the Senate if it passes through both of these houses it is then signed by the president. Then it goes before the Supreme Court who check to make sure it is constitutional. Then the police or FBI enforce the law by bring offenders before courts for sentences.
The President of the United States, who currently (in 2013) is Barack Obama, has the responsiblity of carrying out the laws enacted by Congress as interpreted by the Supreme Court.
