Publisher Information

The Academy of Political Science is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization founded in 1880 with a threefold mission: (1) to contribute to the scholarly examination of political institutions, processes, and public policies, (2) to enrich political discourse and channel the best social science research in an understandable way to political leaders for use in public policy making and the process of governing, and (3) to educate members of the general public so that they become informed voters in the democratic process. The major vehicles for accomplishing these goals are its journal, Political Science Quarterly, Academy conferences, and the publication of proceedings or symposia based on conference presentations. The prestige and authority of the Academy are such that statesmen and scholars of all political persuasions have enrolled as members, participated in its conferences, and contributed to its publications. Former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George Bush are honorary members of the Academy. For information about institutional subscriptions, individual membership, back issues, reprints, permissions, or manuscript submissions contact The Academy of Political Science.

What is Congress's role in the budget process quizlet?

The Congressional Budget Office is the non-partisan branch of Congress that provides analysis and materials related to the federal budget process, and objective analyses needed for economic and budgetary decisions related to programs covered by the federal budget.

What are the two steps in the Congressional budgeting process?

To set the federal budget, Congress passes two kinds of laws that set the budget for our country. The first are called authorization. These are necessary for both mandatory and discretionary spending. There are also appropriations, which legislate what is known as discretionary spending.

What role does the executive branch have in the preparation of the budget?

The President, who heads the government's executive branch, is required to submit an annual budget, but that is merely a statement of proposed priorities. The Congress may or may not consider some of those proposals. The President can veto spending bills or tax legislation (although the Congress can override the veto).

Who is responsible for the budget in government?

Every year, the Minister of Finance introduces the Budget in Parliament. It is discussed in committees, debated in the two Houses, and a vote is taken. What is the Budget? The Budget is an annual plan for what government wants to achieve and how it will spend money to achieve those goals.
