Every year Congress must pass spending legislation to fund the government. This is handled by the 12 subcommittees of the Appropriations Committee that are in charge of deciding how federal funding will be distributed among all programs within all federal agencies. The process officially starts with the Administration submitting to Congress the Presidentâs budget for that fiscal year. The Presidentâs budget details a vision for spending, but Congress decides where the money will flow.
