“Before July 16 of each year, the President shall submit to Congress a supplemental summary of the budget for the fiscal year for which the budget is submitted.”

President Obama hit the campaign trail today, but he ignored a law requiring him to submit an updated version of his budget to Congress.

“Americans across the political spectrum agree that our country needs a sound financial plan in this dangerous hour,” Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said in a statement today. “Yet the President has ignored the legal requirement to send his updated budget to Congress.”

What can he do about a budget? he has offered two in the spring the past 2 years and every Congress critter that voted on them voted No. The Senate won't even consider a House offered budget and that leaves poor Obama out in the cold. The Constitution calls for budgets and Harry Reid can't even allow debate let alone votes on the House bills.

Obama is screwed by what he offers and by Harry Reid who is so proud of how well Obama has done without a budget.
