The president doesn't pass laws. Congress passes the laws, but the president is involved in the lawmaking process, too. That is why he can make all of those campaign promises while he is running for office. If elected, he will have the opportunity to influence the passage of many new laws. He and any US citizen can introduce a law but congress can dismiss the introduction when voted upon. Once a law pass through congress and both houses vote on it the the law is sent to the president, the president then signs it. But the president also have power over this he/she can veto it (refuse to endorse it) or pocket (which means sit on it until it expires and the law does not pass)
