* The president is required by law (31 USC 1105) to submit his annual budget proposal to Congress by the first Monday in February. In a new administration, the president typically submits a placeholder document and fills in the details some weeks later.  See "Submission of the President's Budget in Transition Years," by Robert Keith, CRS Report for Congress RS20752, September 15, 2008 (6-page PDF ). Also see our course, The President's Budget.
