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

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

In fact, it's kind of crazy that OMB director needs Senate approval at all. The National Security Adviser is not Senate-approved. The White House chief of staff is not Senate-approved. Why OMB, which is just as much under direct presidential purview as those other two? 4/x — PolitiTweet.org
