How may a citizen sue the government in the US court of federal claims?
Because of its sovereign immunity the United States Government cannot be sued without its consent. Congress set up the Court of Claims in 1855 to hear pleas of people with claims against the government. The Court of Claims was later renamed the United States Court of Federal Clams(1993). This court is composed of 16 judges who were appointed by the President and approved by the Senate. Each judge serves a 15 year term. They hold trials hearing claims for damages against the Federal Government. They choose which claims to uphold and the claims will be paid when Congress appropriates the money for it. Appeals may be carried to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
What is the job of the OMB?
The Office of Management and Budget is part of the executive office of the president. It reviews and approves proposed federal agency budgets before forwarding the budget request to Congress. Only Congress can appropriate money for federal agencies, although as a rule of thumb, they end up modifiying only about 10 to 15 percent of the budget request. The timeline goes something like this: since the federal fiscal year starts Oct. 1, the president has to send the budget to Congress by early February. So, OMB reviews agency spending plans during the summer, sending a "passback" (i.e., proposed changes) to agencies in the fall. A final consolidated budget is then sent to Congress by late winter. The budget side is the largest part of OMB. The "management" side issues directives for federal agencies to comply with in the managament of information technology projects, financial statements, etc. How seriously those directives are taken depends partly on who issues them and the size of the receiving department. A smaller agency has more to fear from OMB then, say, the Defense Department.
