Explanation

The president submits a proposed budget to Congress, which debates and approves the federal budget through budget and appropriations legislation. The president can sign that legislation or veto it; Congress can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers, so it is not true that Congress cannot override the president. Federal budgets are handled annually, and departments do not approve their own final budgets.
