Moreover, none of that was at Reagan's sole discretion since every spending bill passed and signed during his term had to be introduced by a Democratic House.

The president at his own discretion submits the budget to the House through the OMB. The president at his own discretion signs the budget after congress sign it.

The Congress can't rewrite what is submitted. The congress can refuse to sign the appropriations.

Reagan submitted and signed those federal budget

Yes, they can. In fact, they can totally ignore anything the President submits if they want.

I am not sure you and I should debate this matter any further.
