Yet you don't bother explaining how I am supposedly misrepresenting you.
That was in the accompanying quote.
You have never actually said what was supposedly creatively snipped
Context and inconvenient info. It's all above.
My interpretation does not have to agree with you.
Of course, but misrepresenting things degrades the value of your opinions.
Again, you misrepresent. Party A can provide their personal opinions to B. Party A can provide their personal opinions to C. That's two of three rolls of Party A
If party A is the council and B is the President, and C is Congress, how can what you are saying there be consistent with your original claim that the board is "there to help the President provide a proposal to Congress" and that the board "
Because their expert advice is one thing. Final decision making is something else. Final decision making is in the hands of the elected members of Congress and the President.
...once the President make's [sic] the call..." is "obligated to help with that direction."
You don't seem to be able to keep what you are even claiming straight
Nope. It's just you misunderstanding the process. Again, advising is one things. Final decision making is another. And producing the President's proposal to Congress comes from the final decisions made by the President. And producing the legislation comes from the final decisions made by the Congress. Advice is just to inform the President and Congress as they form their respective decisions, which may diverge from advice.
so we keep going around and around pointlessly. Your original claim was essentially that the board should advise the President but that, once the President had made a decision, the board would then need to adjust their advice to Congress based on the President's direction.
No. You are absolutely mistaken. Advice to Congress is something completely separate from the President's proposal. The President may deviate from the advice. Congress may deviate from the advice too, and from the proposal.
Now are you reversing that and saying I was right all along?
Nope, you just misunderstand some things. Reading things in that are not there.
you seem to be implying that the board directly proposes a budget to Congress? This is a new claim. You know that's not how it works, right?
Nope. That is just your misunderstanding. The fact that advice, proposals and legislation may all differ from one another seems to be confusing you. Advice is one independent work product of the board. A proposal is the work product of the Executive, which the board is a part of and at this stage operating at the direction of the President, unlike when offering advice. Legislation is the work product of the Legislature.
