I wasn't aware that Trump has yet submitted any draft legislation to Congress.

The President doesn't draft legislation, congress does. He can create an agenda and work with congress to do it, but if they won't move then none will happen. Which is what we have now. The President has a series of stated policy goals that would need legislation to be enacted. Building the wall, infrastructure, tax cuts, repeal Obamacare. Which ones has congress even started on? For real, not the hand wringing Obamacare agonizing while they stall and do nothing. Real action?

The answer: none.

Presidents routinely submit proposed legislation to Congress. Members of Congress routinely introduce bills on behalf of the administration (and other outside groups, for that matter). I expect that Trump will get around to this once he has his cabinet and subcabinet in place. In fact, I would imagine that his team is already working with people on the Hill to get this done. And of course, people on the Hill have their own proposals, and they are presumably trying to get Trump to adopt them as his own.

But if you are unwilling to wait for that process to develop, and would prefer for Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell to define Trump's agenda for him, be my guest.
