That’s just that silly Constitution, it also says they are supposed to have a budget EVERY year.

The senate or the president can send a proposed bill or budget or can rewrite/modify bills sent from the house back to the house for consideration but approval or disapproval and final say over what the bill will say lies solely with the house.

The house can modify the latest sellout by the senate GOP and chuck it back to the senate for approval or disapproval.

The House will just “pretend” that they came up with the bill, and it will be all good.

To satisfy the Constitution all the Senate would need to do is take any House bill passed and sent to them by the House that authorizing any spending at all, strip its language including its title, vote to replace this with their own language (as an amendment) and return it to the House for concurrence.

I'm not saying that's what's happening here, but that's all it would take to satisfy the language of the Constitution.
