Yes, but... Congress is supposed to make laws that uphold the principles of the Constitution, but that doesn't always happen. Legislation can become law even if it doesn't agree with the Constitution, but the law can be challenged in the courts and be nullified or overturned if the judges or justices believe it violates the Constitution.

The bottom line is Congress can make unconstitutional laws if enough of them agree to pass the legislation and if the President doesn't veto it or if Congress has enough votes to override the veto, but the laws can be overturned by the courts or repealed by Congress later.

Does the president make any laws?

No. It's the Congress who write the bills. And the president signs the bills. However, the president is in charge of enforcing laws that Congress has made and he has a great deal of leeway in how or if laws are enforced. He issues directives to federal workers on how to interpret and carry out laws. In that sense, he makes laws.

Who creates the law?

The President and Congress create laws. The President can create an idea, but he has to put it through Congress before it is made. The majority of the congress has to agree with the law before it is passed. The President can also veto, or disapprove, law ideas that the Congress creates. But that veto can be jumped by 2/3 vote of congress.
