How did Obama graduate from law school? He is ignorant when it comes to constitutional law. To think he was a senior lecturer of constitutional law. He's an ignoramus. Congress do not raise the debt ceiling. Stop spending our money or you will be voted out of office next election.
@Martian74 He couldn't be less of a Republican shill. When Bush borrowed, he said the same things and opposed the same kinds of debt ceiling increases. Take care not to assume.

Authorized by law means Article 1 Section 8(Powers granted to Congress): Paragraph 1) "The Congress SHALL have the power... TO PAY THE DEBT" Shall is a legal absolute.
Paragraph 2) "To borrow money on the credit of the United States;"
Congress handles the debt. End of story.

It says, "The validity of the public debt of the United States AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW... shall not be questioned." There's no reason to default. All the President has to do is pick up the phone and have Tiny Tim cut a check to pay the interest on the debt. Problem solved. If there's a default, it's because the President and the Secretary didn't do their job, i.e. CUT THE CHECK on the interest. The same is true of SSI payments, the soldiers and veterans. This is a non issue.

Where in the 14th amendment do you get the President can raise the debt ceiling?
FreeinTX 7 months ago
@Martian74 Democrats never refused to increase the debt before & the only reason the repubs are is because the last election only favored them because they promnised too. The 14th amendment does not give Obama the power to circumnavigate Congress, we are a republic not a dictatorship.

This guy is an idiot. Obama should use the 14th amendment because this is the exactly sort of thing it was created to prevent. And guess what? There is no basis for anyone to actually sue because no party was wronged. The house will surly impeach him but the senate will not convict and a president must put the constitution and the good of the nation ahead of politics.
