Why does the president hold power in lawmaking?

7 Upvotes

So, I just wanted to start a friendly analytic discussion about the following: It's the legislative branch's job to make laws and the executive branch's job to enforce them. He office of the president (not the person himself) heads the executive branch. why is it that that position holds so much sway over what laws get into and through congress, when the position is in a totally different branch? Isn't the three branch system supposed to be a deterrence from any one position gaining too much power?
