Unlike, say, directorships of NIH, or NASA, or NOAA, the OMB directorship legitimately answers directly to the president. The budget drafted by OMB is always and only a *proposal* to Congress, which has the ultimate deciding power always. 2/x — PolitiTweet.org

Of all the Senate-confirmed jobs, OMB director is one that would seem to call for *utmost* deference to the president. Unlike judgeships, it's not a lifetime appointment. It is not a separate cabinet department, it functions within the Executive Office of the President. 1/x — PolitiTweet.org

And if Congress doesn't like what it's hearing from an OMB director, guess what? Congress has its own in-house functional equivalent, director of the Congressional Budget Office. 3/x — PolitiTweet.org
