Not to mention, isn’t Congressional control of the budget in Article I of the Constitution? Wouldn’t their plan require an Amendment? Assuming of course they don’t go through the “Because we said so!” method…
Absolutely nothing, while rough sledding, might not be the worst possible scenario.
What makes you think they give a flying whatever–or even know–what the constitution says?
There’s nothing stopping the Republicans from asking Trump how to vote, then voting that way. Nothing legally anyway.
That’s what I was thinking, so I went to the Constitution for reference.
Article 1 does say all legislative power is vested in Congress.
A1 Section 7 says
"All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; "
Curiously, that is for raising revenue explicitly, not spending.
Section 8 gives Congress the power to tax, to pay debts, to provide for Defense and General Welfare of the US. Also regulate commerce, coin money, and borrow money.
Since the budget is legislation to allocate money to provide for defense and general welfare, or would seem it is explicitly an enumerated power of Congress.
But the President proposes a budget every year. Presumably, this is to provide input from agencies on their projected operating expenses. There is nothing that prevents Congress from taking the proposed budget as-is, rather than the typical massage of the various amounts to fit their own agendas.
But to bypass Congress performing an authorization step would require an Amendment.
I’m quite surprised that the first line of the GOP Trump-worshipping bill isn’t
What a bunch of DUMAsses.
The what, now?
Wins the

That thing the framers wiped their butts with, then enshrined for all posterity.
That thing the SC claims to be interpreting directly, but ignore when it suits them.
That thing Conservatives cherish except when it is inconvenient.
Which is amazing when you consider the conservative constitution is only half a sentence long.
…the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
You left out all the modifiers to “people”?
He just left out one word before people: “right”.
True, the definition has changed over the years.
Steve Scalise says the Bourbon St attack happened because of woke.
President Baby is throwing a tantrum because the national period of mourning for Jimmy Carter is going to be happening during his big party when everyone is supposed to be paying attention to him.
Die mad about it.
Shove one of those flag poles up his ass, all the way to the flag halfway down it, and it won’t look like it’s at half mast anymore.
(Just kidding, I would never desecrate a flag like Trump would.)
Yeah, that twerp ain’t shy at all when it comes to anything untoward and un-American. Seriously, how the fuck does someone who dry humps an American flag on stage rewarded for that misbehavior?
The America-hating fuckstick sez:
“Giddy?” Well, to be honest, I hadn’t given it much thought. But now that you’ve brought it up, I’m joining every citizen who DOESN’T hate America in finding this circumstance to be satisfactory.
President Carter has, ironically, performed one final service for his country.
(Hey, President Biden, is it too late to declare a 1483 -day period of mourning? Maybe flying the flag upside-down for the final 1461 days?)
