The best description of how the federal budget is created is:
The president proposes a budget and signs it into law after the House and Senate revise it.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
1. The President proposes a budget: The President, as part of their responsibilities, puts forward a budget proposal outlining the government's spending priorities for the upcoming fiscal year.
2. Revision by the House and Senate: The House of Representatives and the Senate carefully review the President's budget proposal, suggest changes, and make revisions based on their priorities and negotiations.
3. Final approval: After the House and Senate have revised the budget proposal, they come to an agreement on the final version. Once both chambers have approved the budget, it is sent to the President for signing into law.
This process ensures that the federal budget reflects the priorities and compromises of the executive branch (represented by the President) and the legislative branch (represented by the House and Senate).
