Answer this question… Both houses work on spending bills based on the president's budget.
The US Congress.
Before a president's budget can be put into action, it must go through a series of steps. First, the president submits the budget proposal to Congress. Then, Congress reviews and analyzes the budget, making changes and adjustments as needed. After the budget is finalized and approved by both chambers of Congress, it is signed into law by the president. Only then can the budget be implemented and funds allocated accordingly.
When the Republicans controlled both houses of congress, in the fiscal years covering 2001-2006 congress did pass or approve three of President Bush's budgets; it should be noted that even with a majority, approval of the budgets was not a speedy process. But the 2004 budget had various areas of disagreement, and even with a Republican majority in congress, no final budget passed. (Generally, when a final budget cannot be agreed upon, it is either passed through separate appropriations bills; or temporary extensions and other stop-gap measures are used, so that the government has enough money to function.) There was a budget agreement in 2005, but again, in 2006, there was not. The 2007 budget also ran into problems, especially after Democrats took over control of the congress, officially, in January 2007, but that budget was finally agreed upon, and so was the final budget President Bush submitted, although again, with a number of modifications.
The labor strike and unrest are the two issues that helped the Republicans gain control of both houses of congress in November 1946 election.

The democrats controlled both houses in 2006.
In the United States, the government is not allowed to spend any money without an approved budget authorization. If the President were to veto the budget, then the budget bill would go back to the Congress. The Congress would then have the opportunity to pass a revised budget that the President would sign. Or, Congress can override the President's veto by a 2/3 vote of both the House and the Senate, in which case the budget would be approved.
