Given that the President does not pass the budget, please explain the relevance of a President not passing a budget?

The President proposes the budget to congress based upon the recomendations of the cabinet for the needs of their respective departments for the coming year. Congress, as the people's direct representatives, evaluates the proposals to ensure that they are serving the needs of the people and conforming to the existing laws. Congress is then charged with raising the revenue to fund the approved budget.
That's the theory anyway.
The problem with this President is that he wants to spend by fiat and not propose a budget for debate by the people's representatives."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003Comment

I still don't understand how a bill that didn't come from the House could be called a tax.Originally posted by Ogie Oglethorpe View PostI make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

How does that make any goddamn sense?Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View Post
He doesn't pass a budget when his own party is in control there, ergo he's only conspiring to work against Republicans? What the ****, you're seriously illogical."I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui

That would be the Senate for four years and counting. Before that it was the house as well until GOP retook it and promptly fulfilled their responsibilities by passing budgets in the house for two years running that never were considered in the Senate.Originally posted by kentonio View Post"Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

There has been a concerted effort to avoid responsibilty. The decision was made early on that congress critters coudn't be held liable for the deficits if they didn't vote on budgets. It was clear as day that Pelosi was attempting to save as many as possible in the run up to midterms by allowing members not to be on record for the cluster**** they were creating. An approach Reid has similarly adopted going forward.Originally posted by MRT144 View Post"Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

If this is so, how did it avoid triggering the provisions of the law prohibiting taxes from being reviewed by the courts until they go into effect?Originally posted by regexcellent View PostI make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

He doesn't ever pass a budget you idiot.Comment

Looks like the House failed to pass a budget that the Senate would agree on. How is the Senate more responsible than the House for their failure to reach an agreement?Originally posted by Ogie Oglethorpe View PostComment

In Obama's case this is a truism. In every other presidency POTUS approves the budgets as they become due via any other apprproaiations bill. House and Senate create and approve of budgets and get approved by POTUS per Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.Originally posted by kentonio View Post
