Obama urges Congress to pass a bill that decrease the number of illegal citizens by speeding up the process of legalization, thus giving them citizenship. Obama also wants to give same-sex couples the same rights as other couples, meaning they can use their relationship to obtain a visa.

In terms of a formal power of the president, Obama can convene both the House and the Senate in order to discuss policy. This would help him because then he would be able to get his message out all one time, and hear both the supporting arguments and the negative ones.

An informal power of the president includes media coverage. Even though this is an informal power, it's a power that contains quite a punch. When the president has good media coverage, his ideas are more spread out, thus increasing the number of followers he has. By followers, I mean supporters. For example, Obama could use Twitter or different types of social media in order to get ideas about his bill as well as find out ways that he could improve the writing.
