      "title": "The President\u2019s Budget: Overview of Structure and Timing of Submission to Congress",
      "summary": "The Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, as amended and later codified in the U.S. Code, requires the President to submit a consolidated federal budget to Congress toward the beginning of each regular session of Congress. Under 31 U.S.C. \u00a71105(a), the President must submit the budget\u2014which contains budgetary proposals, projections, and other required reports\u2014to Congress on or after the first Monday in January, but no later than the first Monday in February.\nThe President\u2019s budget, or the Budget of the United States Government as it is referred to in statute, is required to include in part (1) estimates of spending, revenues, borrowing, and debt; (2) detailed estimates of the financial operations of federal agencies and programs; (3) the President\u2019s budgetary, policy, and legislative recommendations; and (4) information supporting the President\u2019s recommendations. The President\u2019s budget also contains budgetary proposals for the legislative and judicial branches, which are transmitted to the President and submitted, without change, as part of the President\u2019s budget submission to Congress. There are a number of reports that are required to be submitted along with, or at the same time as, the President\u2019s budget, such as an annual federal government performance plan. \nThe content and structure of the President\u2019s budget have varied by President. The budget submissions of the past three Presidents have each included the following volumes:\nBudget of the U.S. Government\u2014includes a short budget message summarizing the President\u2019s policy priorities, summary tables of budgetary aggregates, and narrative descriptions of proposed government activities;\nHistorical Tables\u2014provides a historical overview of federal government finances, including historical data on budget authority, government receipts, outlays, and the federal debt;\nAnalytical Perspectives\u2014contains in-depth discussion of government programs and technical explanation of the budget baselines that were used to produce the estimates contained in the President\u2019s budget; and\nAppendix\u2014includes detailed budget estimates and financial information on individual programs listed by appropriations account, which includes the President\u2019s recommended appropriations language, among other information. \nTimely Submission of the President\u2019s Budget. In the 95 years since the President was required to submit a budget to Congress, it was submitted on or before the original statutory deadline on 76 occasions. On 54 of these occasions, the budget was submitted on the deadline. On the remaining 22 occasions, the President\u2019s budget was submitted early.\nDelayed Submission of the President\u2019s Budget. The President\u2019s budget has been submitted after the statutory deadline on 19 occasions. In 6 of these 19 occasions, Congress extended the deadline by statute. In all but one of these occasions, the President\u2019s budget was submitted by the extended deadline. In the 14 instances when it was submitted after the original or the extended deadline, the President\u2019s budget was delayed, on average, 31.71 days.\nThis report, which provides information on the origins, content, and submission dates of the President\u2019s budget, will be updated annually or as developments warrant.",
