If Congress does not want to pass a bill that the president supports, there are several actions they can take. Congress can choose not to bring the bill to a vote, effectively killing it. They can also amend the bill to make it more acceptable to members of Congress or attach conditions to its passage. Ultimately, Congress holds the power of the purse and can choose not to fund or implement a bill even if it is signed into law by the president.

Why does congress have powers that the president doesn't?

All branches of law have different powers. This is to prevent any one branch from becoming more powerful than the others. Also, Congress has the power to create statutory law. The President is one man, and if he made statutory law it would be more likely to be a law he wants passed instead of one that the people want passed.
