It's supposed to be: 1) The House of Representatives develops and passes a budget bill, 2) The Senate also passes the bill, subject to negotiations with the House, and, 3) The President signs the bill and the U.S. has a budget. Note that recently no budget has been passed, only Continuing Resolutions, which continue the previous spending. Our duly elected "representatives" kicking the can down the road. > If you look historically, almost all budgets were within 3% (plus or > minus) of what each President has proposed. Probably to avoid the threat of a veto.
