All bills and all joint resolutions which are not constitutional amendments must be signed by the President. This is part of the checks and balances of a democratic government. The President has the right to veto all proposed law sent to him for signing. If he or she vetoes, such cannot become law before it has not been self-enacted by at least 2/3 of both houses.
Concurrent resolutions may be passed by Congress without presidential approval but these have, in most cases, not the effect of a law. Congress can only make legal decissions over its own property, e.g. the Capital Rotunda, without the President's signature.
There are different kinds of resolutions. Either house can pass resolutions that express its opinion on some matter- these are not laws and are not sent to the president. The Congress can also pass non-binding resolutions that are not sent to the president and do not become law. However, the Congress can pass joint resolutions which means the identical resolution is passed by both houses. These are sent to the president and become law if he signs them,
No, a legislative order is not issued by the president; rather, the president issues executive orders to direct the operations of executive agencies and set policies. These orders allow the president to manage the federal government and implement laws passed by Congress. While executive orders have the force of law, they are distinct from legislation, which must be passed by both houses of Congress and signed by the president.

In 1846, President Polk declared war on Mexico stating, "Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our territory and shed American blood upon America's soil." Abraham Lincoln, a Senator at the time, questioned whether the "spot" where blood had been shed was actually on US soil. Lincoln's "spot resolutions" were one of several resolutions passed by congress questioning and opposing the war.

Laws are acts that are signed by the president of passed by Congress over his veto.
This deals with the system of Checks & Balances. The President can "check the authority of Congress" by rejecting a unconstitutional law proposed by Congress. this process is called veto.The President checks Congress when he vetoes a bill that the Congress has passed. Congress can check him if a 2/3 majority votes to override his veto.Also, the President can check Congress by using the media (the "bully pulpit") to set the agenda for Congress. Presidents also tend to have success with Congress proportional to their approval rating with the public. Thus, if a president has a high approval rating, it is likely that Congress will be willing to help him accomplish his goals.
