As the president and the executive department implement and enforce a law they might need what?
Congress is in charge of making laws. The president only approves the bill or not, but he doesn't make law. This insures that the president doesn't become a king or dictator. Lately we have had a man in the executive branch who doesn't understand this concept and has tried to make laws without congress. The end result is these actions have gone to the federal courts.

No not every bill is presented unless it is passed by congress. Congress is in charge of making laws. The president only approves the bill or not, but he doesn't make law.

How did president Johnson's previous experience in congress help to achieve passage of the civil rights act?
President Johnson's former experience in congress made him a strong politician. As a result, he fought for civil rights and did not want to take "no" for an answer.
What if the president could fire justices of the supreme court of he didn't like a ruling they made?
This would essentially put the supreme court under the president and let him decide the constitutionality of laws if Congress agreed with him. However if the opposition controlled Congress, the president might fire the whole court and Congress might refuse to confirm his new appointments and chaos would result.
What happens when a bill dies as a result of no presidential signature?
If the President signs a bill that has been passed by Congress, it does not die, but becomes law. I have never heard of a President signing a bill before it was passed by Congress, but if he did and it died, I suppose it would mean that he was in danger of being known as a weak President.
Why is Obama's Iran deal not subject to the two-thirds Senate vote for ratification?
While it is the case that all "treaties" require the ratification of the Senate, e.g. the two-thirds approval vote, this became incredibly difficult and cumbersome. As a result, President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided that he would term his international negotiations something other than treaties, like executive agreements. Because "executive agreements" are never mentioned in the US Constitution, there is no provision requiring any congressional approval. Note that from a functional and international law perspective there is absolutely no difference between a "treaty" and an "executive agreement".However, Congress retaliated in the 1960s, by passing a law requiring presidents to notify the legislative branch of all "executive actions" signed. Of course, this simply meant that Congress would be aware of the "executive agreement" and not in a position to oppose it. In some cases, the President will grant Congress the right to vote up or down on the "executive agreement" he reached during the notification process. This up or down vote is a plain majority vote in the Congress, but can be vetoed by the President. This effectively makes the approval requirement for an "executive agreement" the almost-exact reverse of the approval requirement for a "treaty". Instead of two-thirds of the Senate being required to approve a "treaty", now, two-thirds of the Senate and two-thirds of the House of Representatives are required to override the Presidential veto preventing their disapproval of the "executive action" from coming to pass.Almost every President since FDR has taken advantage of this incredibly useful tool and what Obama is doing on the Iran deal is no different.

Which is an advantage of Presidents being able to act on their own?
The Founding Fathers realized that one of the major weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation was its lack of an independent executive. The Constitution created an independent, strong executive branch. The powers listed in the Constitution dealing with the executive office are broad and vaguely described. As a result, the specific power in any given situation is left to interpretatation by the person holding the office of President at that time. The President, for example, can fire officials in the executive branch, make agreements with foreign nations, and issue executive orders, even though those powers may not be mentioned specifically in the Constitution. The President is Commander in Chief of the armed forces; he has the power to appoint; the President may pardon people convicted of a federal crime; the State of the Union address allows the President to set forth a legislative plan for his administration; and the President can call Congress into special session. The President can also use the media to get citizens to approve or disapprove of a governmental action. The President can also meet with leaders of Congress and with representatives of foreign nations, thus helping to establish domestic and foreign policies for the nation.
