According to The Hill, by a vote of 51-48, Congress passed a final budget for FY 2016 when the Senate followed the House in passing the measure. The budget blueprint is non-binding, and the President has no say in the matter. However, he will play a major role in any legislation produced that is based on the parameters, possibilities, and limitations of the congressional budget plan.
“The non-binding resolution approved Tuesday sets the top-line numbers that appropriators will use to craft 12 bills funding the government in fiscal 2016. The plan calls for balancing the budget in 10 years by cutting more than $5 trillion from spending. The White House has already threatened to veto the GOP’s first two appropriations bills, and has implied that the other 10 bills will meet the same fate. That could leave Congress facing a new government shutdown fight in September, with a deadline of Oct. 1 for passing some kind of legislation to keep the government funded.”
