>> the President of the United States has no control over the federal budget.

Can Congressional budgets pass without Senate nor Executive approval?

Congressional budgets pass with Senate approval, thus the name “Congressional”. The Budget is then used as a framework for the specific appropriations bills which the President must sign into law. Of course he could veto these bills - and have that veto be the easiest veto over-ride vote in the history of the US Congress. The President even submits a “budget” to Congress. Want to guess how much of that budget ever makes it into a Congressional Budget Act?
