In days gone by, a real budget that has been first put together by the House would be sent to the Senate to be voted upon. Then after passing, a Conference Committee of representatives from the Senate and House would meet and work out differences between the bills pass and resolve them to agreement. They would then issue a report back to both entities. The House then would vote on acceptance or rejection. It, being the only legislative entity authorized to issue a budget would then vote and the bill would pass to the President for signing.
Has Obama every really had a real bill? No, I think. He’s gotten continuing resolutions and he has operated on bravado and usurped authority in my book.
Seeing how this is his first real budget, who knows what will happen. It would not surprise me one bit that he will reject it for some specious reason because it does not contain what he thinks he wants.
Tyrants are like that.
What else are we to expect from a person whose only claim to fame as senator was voting "present" and getting all passionate about babies who had the audacity to live after being subjected to an abortion.
He don't know nothin' 'bout legislation.
I understand that. But will the republicans, when the new congress is in session, will they present a budget?
He personally lobbied for the Senate passage. He will sign it. It is a great victory for the Left including the GOP leadership which collaborated with him.
