A bill, such as the cap and trade carbon bill, has to go through the House and Senate, before ending up on the Governors/Presidents desk, where he can sign it into law or veto it. The House and Senate can overturn a presidents veto with enough votes.

Did Barack Obama made new laws?
No, he did not. Under the American system of government, a president can propose or suggest a new policy, and he can advocate for something he would like to see become a law. But he cannot make any laws. Only congress can do that. Congress votes on a bill, and if the bill gets enough votes, it becomes a law. After that happens, the president can either sign it or veto it. But the laws themselves still come from the congress.

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).
