  The Administration creates the budget and submits it to congress. This is why the Administrative office of "Management and Budget" exists. This happens every year and has for as long as I've been alive. I believe you're referencing "budget resolutions" which are not law and have a more complicated relationship to the process. https://www.usa.gov/federal-budget-process https://www.usa.gov/federal-budget-process

    The Administration creates the budget and submits it to congress. ... who promptly pronounces it "dead on arrival". Which isn't actually true. They still use the executive branch proposal as a baseline. They, too, are supposed to authorize payment for the programs that they've passed laws to create. Usually, there's somebody in the room whose constituents benefit, and they can insist that it continue to be funded. And of course this time around, the President will have a Congress who is controlled by his own party, so the relationship will be less hostile. In all likelihood they will end up putting back some programs instead.
