Hi mom4pto!
Good question. Yes, anyone can make a motion. Here is an article that you may find helpful:

Lisa,
What you and the article you refer to don't mention is that: only members can make motions and that some members -presidents ( or the persons presiding over the meetings) and parliamentarians- shouldn't make motions.

Hi parttimeparli-
That's a good point - they shouldn't but they can. Frequently we hear that Presidents will handle this by saying something like, "I would entertain a motion regarding..... " and put the words and idea out there so another member can make the motion.

Thanks for jumping into the conversation!

Can the President vote on the motions made by other members?

It depends on your by-laws. In some organizations, the by-laws allow the president to vote and not in others. In still other organizations, the president is allowed to vote only in the event of a tie. Check your by-laws.
