# §1107. Deficiency and supplemental appropriations


The President may submit to Congress proposed deficiency and supplemental [appropriations](/usc/31/1101.md?p=2) the President decides are necessary because of laws enacted after the submission of the budget or that are in the public interest. The President shall include the reasons for the submission of the proposed [appropriations](/usc/31/1101.md?p=2) and the reasons the proposed [appropriations](/usc/31/1101.md?p=2) were not included in the budget. When the total proposed [appropriations](/usc/31/1101.md?p=2) would have required the President to make a recommendation under [section 1105(c) of this title](/usc/31/1105.md?p=c) if they had been included in the budget, the President shall make a recommendation under that section. The President shall transmit promptly to Congress without change, proposed deficiency and supplemental [appropriations](/usc/31/1101.md?p=2) submitted to the President by the legislative branch and the judicial branch.
