When it comes to the federal budget, President George W. Bush has control over less than half of his $2.6 trillion proposed spending plan.
About $1.4 trillion is for so-called mandatory outlays, spending that's written into federal law, for such programs as Social Security and Medicare.
Each one of the president's discretionary spending proposals will be scrutinized and most likely altered by congressional committees and the full House and Senate.
