White House tells Paul Ryan it won’t meet budget deadline

The White House has informed House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that it will miss the legal deadline for sending a budget to Congress.

Acting Budget Director Jeff Zients told Ryan in a letter delivered Friday that the budget will not be delivered by Feb. 4, as required by law.

...

Under the law, President Obama must submit a budget by the first Monday in February, but he has met the deadline only once. The annual budget submission is supposed to start a congressional budgeting process, but that has also broken down. The Senate last passed a budget resolution in 2009.

Thanks george76.
...has informed House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that it will miss the legal deadline for sending a budget...
Either shut everything down and take the blame, or extend the deadline and get something no one will vote for, and take the blame.

To: technically right

Since the President and his staff can’t do a budget...I’d just admit to that and let Congress run the budget business by themselves.

That’s what happens when you replace a rule of law with a rule of lawyers.

Our gallant Republican leaders are too much too busy pushing “ILLEGAL Amnesty” to worry about such trivial matters as asking the Dems for a budget. Git with it man, you just don't understand how things work in Washington. Just pay your taxes and shut up. /sarc
