Nope, the other way around.
The President submits his budget for the Executive Branch. The Judicial Branch also submits their budget.
Congress is the authority to approve the budget. The President frequently asks for budgets that are disapproved.
Congress has its own budget and guess who is the authority to approve congressional budgets?
Congress - hence the problem
But in no way, would the President be allowed to approve or disapprove of the legislative branch's budget.
