D. Helping the president create the federal budget

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. The Executive Office of the President is responsible for helping the president create the federal budget.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Executive Office of the President of the United States is the department responsible for providing support to the President of the United States. Its functions include areas such as presidential communication and the promotion of commercial interests abroad. The person in charge of the EOP is the head of the White House Cabinet, which is currently John Kelly. It includes the closest collaborators to the President of the United States, as well as multiple levels of support personnel dependent on the Presidency. The office was created in 1939 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

As the budget proposal corresponds to the President, one of the main tasks of the EOP is to advise and collaborate with him in the drafting of the federal budget.

Answer 2

Correct answer:

D. Helping the President create the federal budget.

The Executive Office of the President of the United States (EOP) is what we call the various agencies that assist the President in carrying out his role as Chief Executive of the nation. The White House Office (the staff that works at the White House) is part of the Executive Office of the President (EOP), but so also are agencies such as the National Security Council and the Office of Management and Budget. In fact, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is the largest agency within the EOP. Helping to produce the President's Budget which is proposed to Congress is the most prominent work of the OMB. The OMB also monitors programs, policies, and procedures of government agencies to make sure they are in line with the President's policies. Mick Mulvaney currently serves as Director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Trump administration.
