As the chief legislator, the elected leader, such as the President or the head of government, plays a significant role in shaping and influencing the legislative agenda. They have the power to propose, support, or veto legislation and may use their influence to guide the policy priorities and direction of the legislative branch. The chief legislator may work with lawmakers to develop and pass laws that align with their desired policy objectives or the platform on which they were elected. They also have the authority to deliver the annual State of the Union address or similar speeches and propose specific legislation or initiatives during these national addresses.
