The $4.1 trillion spending plan is primarily political; many of its provisions are unlikely to be supported by a Republican-controlled Congress
Appropriations subcommittees will hold hearings. However, Administration agency officials have been told they cannot
Under Title III of the Congressional Budget Act, Congress will aim to pass a joint budget resolution by April 15
The House and Senate Appropriations Committees each have 12 subcommittees that will draft legislation implementing the combined budget resolution
The House and Senate will then consider the bills and resolve differences
Any aspects of the budget resolution not implemented through appropriations bills will likely be addressed in an omnibus bill or stopgap spending bill before the new fiscal year begins on October 1
