I'm going to assume you're asking about the United States President. It's hard for a President to get bills passed because while he can propose a bill, he is in no way in direct control of the bodies that actually do pass law, the US House and Senate. Those bodies may be, and often are, under control of opposition political parties who do not want the same legislation that the President wants. The only direct involvement in creating law a President has is his Veto power, allowing him only to block bills passed by the congress.
What else can I help you with?

What happens to a bill that is voted down by the senate?
For a bill to become law it must be passed by both houses of Congress, so when the Senate passes a bill, the same bill must also go to the House of Representatives, or if the House has passed a similar bill, the two bills must be reconciled by a joint committee to produce a single bill that both houses can pass. Then when both houses have passed the same bill, the bill goes to the President for his signature. The President may or may not sign the bill, and if he doesn't, Congress can over-ride the veto if they have enough votes. Otherwise the bill dies.
Can the president who has just received a bill passed by congress use a pocket veto?
A pocket veto can only be used if the Congress adjourns less than 10 days after the bill was sent to the President for his signature. If they so adjourn, the president can simply put the bill in his pocket if he does not want to approve it. Ordinarily, the president must veto a bill by sending it back to Congress unsigned with his objections attached.
