The Executive branch is in charge of enforcing the laws (while the Legislative branch writes the laws and the Judicial branch determines the legality of the laws). The President can issues executive orders that do not require the approval of Congress. The President can order troops but can not declare war without Congress' agreeance. The President can appoint Supreme Court judges (with Congress' approval) as well as many other high-ranking officials (including all working in his office - without Congress' approval). The President is also very much in charge of all foreign affairs, nearly exclusively - with Congress' agreement.
the job is not to enforce the laws but to make them.
Although only Congress has the actual power to make laws, the president (chief legislator) can voice his/her own ideas and opinions to Congress while they draft legislation. The President does this through speeches, promoting his/her agenda and by meeting with Congress to discuss policy.
