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.
