The budget process typically begins with the president sending a proposed budget to Congress (II), which then holds hearings and drafts its own budget resolution. After negotiations between the House and Senate, Congress ultimately approves the final budget (I). Supplementary budget laws (III) can be passed at any point during the fiscal year, as needed. Therefore, the correct order is II, I, III.
