* 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  ).
