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.
