The power to help Congress manage the federal budget primarily falls under the legislative authority granted to Congress itself, particularly through the Appropriations Clause of the Constitution. This power allows Congress to allocate funds, set spending priorities, and establish financial regulations. Additionally, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) plays a critical role by providing nonpartisan analyses and projections to inform budgetary decisions. Overall, these powers enable Congress to oversee federal expenditures and ensure fiscal responsibility.

According to the US Constitution, Congress has "the power of the purse". This means that Congress approves the budget submitted by the President. It's one of the checks and balances built into the Constitution to ensure that one branch doesn't hold too much power.
The United States federal law that controls the Congress role in the budget process is the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The Act removed the impoundment power of the president.

Yes it did have the power to manage foreign affairs.......
What happens is that the president's staff prepares a proposed budget and sends it to leadership in Congress. They then do what they want to do. Once the budget bill is passed, the President could veto it if he does not like it, but rarely does so for a variety of reasons. (By the way, the Constitution does not say that the president can recommend a budget .)
Congress has the power to create new federal courts.

Congress
The legislative branch of government is responsible for making laws and preparing the national budget. In the United States, this function is carried out primarily by Congress, which consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Congress drafts, debates, and votes on proposed legislation, and it holds the power to approve the federal budget.
