The Federal Budget Process: A Description of the Federal and Congressional Budget Processes, Including Timelines (Government) Book

Part of the Government Series, from TheCapitol.Net Budgeting for the federal government is an enormously complex process. It entails dozens of subprocesses, countless rules and procedures, the efforts of tens of thousands of staff persons in the executive and legislative branches, and the active participation of the President, congressional leaders, Members of Congress, and members of the executive branch. This book discusses the various elements of the federal budget process including the President's budget submission, framework, timetable, the budget resolution, reconciliation, the 'Byrd Rule,' appropriations, and budget execution.
