Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The president has gained a much greater role in the process of preparing the federal budget than that outlined in the Constitution, particularly through the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The Constitution grants Congress the power of the purse and specifies that all revenue-raising bills must originate in the House of Representatives. While the Senate also plays a role in the budget process, the president's increased involvement in recent decades has been significant. The Supreme Court does not have a role in the federal budget process.
