How does a Constitutional Amendment that has passed Congress become a law?
For a bill to become a law, it must first be passed by both houses of congress, and then signed by the president (the procedure is different in other countries, but let's discuss how it's done in the USA). But for an amendment to be added to the constitution, there is one extra (and very difficult) step. After the proposed amendment passes both houses of congress, it must then be ratified by 3/4 of the states. If this does not occur, it dies and does not become an amendment. For example, the Equal Rights Amendment was passed by congress, but it did not gain approval of 3/4 of the states, so it never became a law.

Is the president the only person of the united states that can propose an amendment to the constitution?
No. Any citizen of the United States can propose a Constitutional Amendment, but it won't formally enter the process of amending the Constitution until either Congress or the State Legislatures take it up. That process doesn't include any input from the President at all. In fact, the President may share his opinion of a Constitutional Amendment, but he may not veto it or in any way interfere with the process. Furthermore, the Courts have no jurisdiction over the process of ratifying a Constitutional Amendment either. If you consider Congress and the State Legislatures to be representatives of the people's will, then only the People may formally ratify a Constitutional Amendment. This is best represented by the 18th and 21st Amendments and how the People decided to amend the Constitution and then decided to undo the same Amendment.
