How do you become a chief executive in congress?
The Chief Executive is another name for the President under the government of the Constitution of the United States. You become President by being elected by the (people)Electoral College. Congress, both Houses, determines its leaders by the election of the members of each party. For example, the Speaker of the House is elected by the members of the majority party in the House. The Vice President is President of the Senate, according to the Constitution, but other party officials are elected by the majority and minority parties.
Why does a US president usually urge voters to elect members of his or her political party to congress?
The primary purpose for a US president to urge voters to elect members of his or her party to congress is to make it easier for the Party and the president to have bills the Party favors made into laws. A US president usually urges voters to elect members of his political party to congress because the president proposes laws but the congress passes laws. The president is also able to veto laws but the congress can override the President's veto. The congress (Legislative Branch) is also able to approve treaties (and the president negotiates foreign treaties) and the congress can impeach and remove the President and other high officials (the president appoints federal judges, ambassadors, and other high officials).

How does the president shape laws?
There are two ways in which the President shapes laws. The President is the head of his political party, and he therefore can direct members of his party to introduce legislation in Congress that will advance his policies. And if Congress passes laws that he doesn't like, he can veto them (although with enough votes, Congress can override his veto).
When members of Congress vote with their political party they are acting as what?

Who presides over congress?
In the US Federal government there are two parts of the congress. In the House of Representatives, the Speaker of the House presides. The party with the most members choses the Speaker. In the US Senate, this law making body is presided over by the Vice President.
Why role does the president fill when working with congress to pass laws?
In the American system of government, it is congress that makes the laws, but the president definitely plays an important role. For one thing, it is the president who champions and promotes his party's policies. The president has key priorities for which he serves as the "advocate in chief": members of his party bring his most crucial policy ideas forward in congress, where they are debated and sometimes voted upon; the president's hope is that these proposals will ultimately be passed, and turned into laws. And if a law passes with which he does not agree, the president does not have to sign it-- he can veto it and thus prevent it from taking effect. If that happens, the congress can try to override the president's veto.
Is the president allowed to prepare a bill?
The President of the US is also the leader of his own political party (at the present time, Barack Obama is the leader of the Democratic Party) and therefore, if the President wants legislation to be introduced in Congress, he can ask the members of his party who are in Congress to do so. Nothing would prevent him from writing the bill himself, if he so desired. It is then still up to Congress to pass it, amend it, or reject it.
What will happen if president is in the political party?
Huh? Let's try answering a couple different questions. Understand that politics is all about the next election. If the president and both houses of Congress are in the same political party, and there are at least 60 senators from the president's party (which is what it takes to shut down a filibuster) things are done in Congress that the president will sign because the party wants to prove to the voters that it can accomplish the people's work. If any of the following are true: the president is from a different party than the one controlling either, or both, houses of Congress or there are less than 60 members of the president's party in the Senate then nothing gets done, so the other party can go to the voters and say, "pick us because my party can solve the problem of gridlock in government today."
Is a lobbyist the leader of the majority party in the US Senate?
A lobbyist is an activist who seeks to persuade members of the government (like members of Congress) to enact legislation that would benefit their group. Anyone who petitions the government or contacts their member of Congress to voice an opinion is functioning as a lobbyist.
Which of the six basic principles of the Constitution can be diluted when the President and a majority of the members of Congress are of the same political party?
When the President and the majority of Congress are of the same political party, the principle of separation of powers becomes diluted. It begins to defeat the purpose of the checks and balances system.
