Actually, the President does dictate the budget.

What is the first thing that the House does with the budget when they
receive it from the president? Throw it on the shelf.

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.

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.
