and the pres does the same to the house budget when he gets it

Actually he can't do that. Either has to veto it or pass it. To pass
it,
he either signs the bill or lets 10 days pass. The only time that can
not
happen is on a "Pocket Veto". And most budgets are not passed less than
10
days before adjournment.


or he can tell the house he's going to veto it and have them get their
asses in gear and do something he wants...there are all kinds of
options


But he can not put it on a shelf as you stated. Actually he can, and the
budget passes.

Not necessarily. It's called a Pocket Veto.
