The President has the power to decide what gets prosecuted or not, and Obama directed his Attorney General to not prosecute minor drug cases. Only congress can change laws, though. Are you blaming Obama for failing to enact single-payer healthcare? After the years he spent just trying to get the AcA through Congress? Congress makes laws, not the President.
