Well, the President is often considered "Chief Lobbyist" so yes! The President can influence Congress in a variety of ways. The President can influence public opinion through media attention and political messaging and create a situation where the people get behind his/her message, thus forcing Congressmen to listen to their constituency. The President can also use the threat of the veto power in order to sway politicians to do as he/she wants.

What happen if both houses of congress pass a bill and the president does nothing and congress is at recess?
In that situation the bill is considered vetoed and is of no effect. This is called the President's "pocket veto." For a bill to become law the President must do two things. He must sign it and return it to Congress within 10 days of passage. A bill, whether signed by the President or not, cannot be returned to Congress if it is in recess. If Congress recesses before the President signs and returns the bill it cannot be returned; therefore the two requirements for a bill to become law cannot be met. When this happens, if Congress wants the bill passed, Congress will introduce another version of the bill, pass it and send it to the President who would then have to formally veto it or sign and return it.

When Congress passes a law is that an example of checks and balances?
Since the Constitution places the power and responsibility for passage of legislation with the Congress, passing a law is more an example of the basic function of the legislative branch than an example of checks and balances. However, it could become an example of checks and balances if Congress passes a law, the President vetoes it, and Congress then overrides the President's veto as provided in the Constitution.
