Executive Policymaking : The Role of the OMB in the Presidency

Omtale

A deep look into the agency that implements the president's marching orders to the rest of the executive branch For most people who know about it, the OMB's only apparent job is to supervise preparation of the president's annual budget request to Congress. But OMB has other responsibilities that give it a central role in how the federal government functions on a daily basis. OMB reviews all of the administration's legislative proposals and the president's executive orders. It oversees the development and implementation of nearly all government management initiatives. The office also analyses the costs and benefits of major government regulations, this giving it great sway over government actions that affect nearly every person and business in America.
