So I was hallucinating in all those years when the President proposed a budget? Sure, Congress debates, changes and then passes it, but the Prez does indeed propose programs, spending priorities, etc. And then he does the STate of the Union speech to advertise and convince that his priorities are the right ones.

It is just plain wrong to say that the Prez merely executes what the Congress comes up with. The Prez has a far more important role than that.
