According to the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921 , the president must annually submit a budget to Congress by the first Monday in February. The proposed spending plan, the president's budget must show:
The condition of the Treasury at the end of the last completed fiscal year.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) assists the president in the creation of the president's budget by gathering data from agencies and compiling it into the final plan to be approved by the president.
