I am confused. The president

I am confused. The president of the United States has no power to submit a bill in congress. The only way to get things done is through submitting a bill into congress, congress vote son it and the president either signs the bill into law or veto's it. I hear the presidential candidates talk about this plan and that plan. As president they will have no ability to enter a bill into the congress. Why do they not submit their plan as a bill in congress now? Their "plan" for this and that can be vetted. They can also then show their ability to "work across the isle" to get the bill enacted. So is it all rhetoric and the only plan is to get elected?
