Today the Washington Examiner<\/a> reported on the progress of the Budget Process<\/a> under President Obama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (Titles I-IX of P.L. 93-344, 2 U.S.C. 601-
\n688) established the congressional budget process, which coordinates the legislative activities on the budget resolution, appropriations bills, reconciliation legislation, revenue measures, and other budgetary legislation. Under this budget process, the President is required to submit a budget to Congress on the first Monday in February.<\/p>\n

The article in the Washington Examiner reports:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Office of Management and Budget recently announced that President Obama\u2019s FY 2015 budget would be delivered to Congress on March 4, just over one month past the statutory deadline (which requires the President\u2019s budget to be submitted by the first Monday in February),\u201d explains a news release from Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee. \u201cThis will be the 18th occasion that the Administration has missed an in-law budget deadline.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2026Obama has never submitted a plan to control Medicare spending following a Medicare funding warning, though the law states that \u201cif there is a Medicare funding warning \u2026 made in a year, the president shall submit to Congress, within the 15-day period beginning on the date of the budget submission to Congress under subsection (a) for the succeeding year, proposed legislation to respond to such warning.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Such warnings have were issued and ignored in 2010, 2011, and 2012. Obama\u2019s team has not submitted a final sequestration transparency report, which was due Jan. 21 of this year. They were late submitting the earlier installation of the report.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s team was also late filing mid-session reviews in 2010, 2011, and 2011. The financial reports on the United States were filed late in 2009, 2011, and 2012.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The obvious question is, \u201cWhat good is the law if the President refuses to honor it?\u201d<\/p>\n

The President has stated that if Congress does not cooperate with his agenda, that he has a pen and a phone and he will go around them. It seems as if he has already\u00a0 insulted them by ignoring the laws they have passed. Maybe the President needs to look in his own back yard before complaining about the trash in his neighbor\u2019s yard.<\/p>\n
