President Obama’s Missed Budget Deadlines

An Unprecedented Disrespect for the Law
January 27, 2012

• In just one term, President Obama has missed the budget deadline more than any other President.
  
• In the 90 years covering FY1923 through FY 2013, President Obama is the only President to miss the deadline two years in a row.  He is the only President who has missed the deadline in three of the four years of a term.  And, he holds the record for the longest delay (at 98 days). 
  
• All Presidents from Harding through Reagan’s first term met the statutory budget submission deadline in every year. In five of these years, a change in the law was requested and passed to extend the deadline, and the President always met it. 

For over 1,000 days, Senate Democrats have failed to pass a budget resolution, ignoring the legal requirement to pass a budget resolution by April 15 of each year.  

In reality, there is no official US budget.   Obama's Submitted budget received 0 votes for it in the Senate.  The House passed a budget, it was never brought up before the Senate.  The Senate has not submitted a budget.
