The president's budget proposal is just a suggestion. The president has no power to set the budget, determine tax rates or authorize expenditures without the approval of Congress.

Article II section 3 says that the president shall recommend to the consideration of Congress such measures as seem necessary and expedient. The budget would fall under that category.

What does it mean when the constitutution says the president can recommend a budget to congress?

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 .)

Who started the tradition of the vice president becoming the president when something happens to the president?

The order of succession to the Presidency is stated in the US constitution; you might say, therefore, that it was started by the Founding Fathers (and probably James Madison in particular, since he was particularly involved in the writing the constitution).
