Policy Basics: Introduction to the Federal Budget Process

This backgrounder describes the laws and procedures under which Congress decides how much money to spend each year, what to spend it on, and how to raise the money to cover some or all of that spending. The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 lays out a formal framework for developing and enforcing a “budget resolution” to guide the process but in recent years the process has not always worked as envisioned.

In this backgrounder, we address:

the President's annual budget request, which is supposed to kick off the budget process;

the congressional budget resolution — how it is developed, what it contains, and what happens if there is no budget resolution;

how the terms of the budget resolution are enforced in the House and Senate;

budget “reconciliation,” an optional procedure used in some years to facilitate the passage of legislation amending tax or entitlement law; and

statutory deficit-control measures — spending caps, pay-as-you-go requirements, and sequestration.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The Defense Department has the most input When executive branch agencies submit budgets for review before the president's proposal is submitted to Congress.

When does the Defense Department have the most input?

As the Defense Department is under the President, they will have to submit a budget that details what they need funding for.

This is where they will have the most input because it is here that they can convince the President of their need for any new expenditure or the need to maintain current ones.
