Tactic used by individuals or groups seeking to influence a congressman's vote?
Individuals or groups who are seeking to influence a legislator's vote will use the practice of lobbying. Types of lobbyists can vary greatly. They can be constituents from the legislator's home state, or they could be professional lobbyists, paid by corporations or special interest groups to get the legislators to pass laws that will be beneficial to them.
What does the president as chief legislator?
I would not call the President the chief legislator. He can not initiate legislation by himself. He can only tell the leaders of Congress what he wants and hope they oblige. He does have some power in the distribution of federal money and so can reward Congressmen who vote the way he wants. He can help his supporters campaign for re-election if they belong to his party. He can block legislation by his veto or by threatening a veto.
Why is the Speaker of the house the only one who can ask for a vote?
