NOW for the EDUCATION OF THE MORON, which is YOU!!



 Can congress develop its own budget?

Yes, the U.S. Congress can develop its own budget through a process that involves both the House and Senate, and ultimately, the President. Congress's role is to determine how much money the government can spend and how that money is allocated, according to the U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data. 


Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Budget Resolutions: The House and Senate each develop their own budget resolutions, which outline their spending priorities and budgetary goals for the upcoming fiscal year. These resolutions set the parameters for how much money can be spent in different areas of government. 


2. Appropriation Bills: After the budget resolutions are passed, Congress creates appropriation bills that specify how the money will be spent. These bills are passed by both the House and Senate. 


3. Presidential Action: Once the appropriation bills are passed, they are sent to the President, who can either sign them into law or veto them. If the President vetoes a bill, Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. 


4. Congressional Budget Office: Congress has the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which provides objective, impartial information about budgetary and economic issues to help inform Congress's budget decisions. 


In essence, Congress has the power to set the overall spending levels and priorities for the federal government, while the President has the power to approve or veto those decisions, says the USAGov.
