He doesn't. Not all by himself. The constitution says that he can only propose laws to Congress and that, once voted on by Congress, he can either sign them into law or veto them. And even if he vetoes a bill, it could still become law if Congress overrides his veto.
If the President has a proposal that he sends to Congress, all he can do is either negotiate with members of Congress, or go on national TV and "pitch" his idea to "the people," urging them to contact their own Representatives and Senators. That's all the President can do.

He must convince Congress to pass laws based on his recommendations. The "convincing" can get quite complicated and it is EXTREMELY political in nature. It's impossible to go into it all here, but the president can basically veto legislation he doesn't like. Congress creats a law, but it isn't official until it's either signed by the president, ignored by the president for I believe 10 days, or it is vetoed and then overturned by a 2/3 vote by Congress.
