The president can affect laws, including labor laws, by lobbying Congress to pass new laws. He can do a considerable amount of "arm twisting" and spending his "political capital" to influence legislation that he cares about. He can help Congressmen keep their seats by campaigning for them and by sending discretionary funds to their districts and he can punish those who do not follow the party line.
He directs federal law enforcement and can order selective enforcement which in effect changes the law. He can set priorities about which laws and which parts of laws federal agents should concentrate on enforcing. He can affect state laws by getting the justice department to files suits to question their constitutionality.

How do US trade laws affect international business?
US Trade Law do affect international business. Just take a simple example of Bangladesh's garment industry. Recently, US government has passed a new law regarding RMG export from Bangladesh. According to the law, US should not import RMG from Bangladesh because of child labor, labor unrest, and so forth. Therefore, Bangladeshi garments willbe hampered. But the fact is, Bangladesh has got rid of these kinds of problems to a great extent. Even though, because of this law, a small country like Bangladesh is going to lose a huge amount of export order and money thereby.
