That is often the way it works. However, there is no special power to propose legislation: any person can propose legislation. Often, the Executive branch will propose legislation, or a special interest group. Even a single citizen has the right to propose legislation, but the discussion, debate, and vote on the passage of the bill is a power that only Congress has.
It is interesting to re-iterate: the President and Executive branch is under no obligation to make a proposal for the agenda. It is just a tradition as presidents often have many campaign promises that they intend to fulfill. Very ironic indeed, as the president has no real authority to pass any laws whatsoever.

Congress can pass new legislation
In the United States, individuals who are not members of Congress cannot propose federal legislation. This means that private citizens, state officials, and other non-legislative entities do not have the formal ability to introduce bills in Congress. However, they can advocate for legislation or work with lawmakers to encourage the introduction of specific proposals. Additionally, the President cannot directly propose legislation but can influence Congress through recommendations and budget proposals.
The answer is true. Special interest groups exist solely to propose legislation to Congress that benefits their particular interest or cause.
Presidents cannot pass legislation. It is congress that makes the laws, and then the president either signs them or vetoes them. But presidents can and do encourage congress to pass certain bills; President Obama, like all presidents before him, has had a number of pieces of legislation he wanted congress to pass. In some cases, they did; in others, they did not.
