The US presidents have no legal control over the Conggress; however there are political and practical ways the president can exert influence over Congress. Sometimes,but certainly not always, the majority of the houses of Congress are of the same political party as the president and those members will sometimes go along with what that president wants them to do.

∙ 13y agoNo. In the US, the President (like most presidents) is head of the Executive branch of government; Congress comprises the Legislative branch. The two are completely separate in the US, as compared to Parliamentary systems that mainly choose the chief executive (prime minister) from the ranks of the legislature.
