But there’s articles that an omnibus isn’t as restrictive as an actual budget, that the Executive has more latitude on exactly how and when the funds are spent.

Is that true?

"But there’s articles that an omnibus isn’t as restrictive as an actual budget,...."

Could you find one of those articles and post the link for us please?

It’s not “discrectionary” as in Trump can take $10b from HHS and allocate it to the Wall.

It’s “within the HHS budget, Carson has more flexibility in allocating his funds.”

BTW, the president spends nothing. The department heads do the spending.
