Biden says he thinks he has authority to use 14th Amendment on debt ceiling

President Biden on Sunday said he believes he has the authority to use the 14th Amendment to unilaterally address the debt ceiling, but he acknowledged potential legal challenges could still lead the nation to default if he went that route. “I’m looking at the 14th Amendment as to whether or not...

I don't doubt he will try, after all the dems don't shy away from doing things that are unconstitutional and it takes two fuckin' years to get their dicks slapped by SCOTUS.

"Biden says he thinks..."

No he doesn't.

 

[pknopp]

I don't think he will do it but I do think the courts would support it as Constitutional.

The 14th is in the Constitution.

 

[theHawk]

Yea, “he thinks he has the authority”, just like his illegal Vax mandates.

 

[Moonglow]

The 14th forces them to pay, yet, there has never been a time when the god damned Republicans have made it to default without caving in.

He and the Constitution does. It is in black and white and in yer face.

 

[theHawk]

The 14th is in the Constitution.

And it says nothing about giving the President power over national debt.

Section 4.​

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void

By refusing to pay the debt they already incurred they are essentially questioning it.

Plenty of revenue to pay that debt. Have to cut the shit out of spending though.

Just think, if we spent at 2019 levels, we'd have a $500 billion surplus.

SCOTUS? Dems don't care. They found out that there is no one to stop them even if SCOTUS rules against them.

The Amendment applies only to debts incurred in putting down the insurrection ("Civil War"). This is not even a matter of debate for the past hundred fifty years.

Ultimately, the decision is not up to the President anyway.

SCOTUS will more than likely intervene because of the constitutionality reality check on biden's dumbass.

I would like to see SCTOUS rule on it so the issue is put to bed.

I personally think there is some validity to the argument about the 14th.

that would be awesome, but as long as people keep voting in the duopoly that will never happen

They voted in the Republican House which is trying to reduce Biden's spending.

Too bad they never try to reduce spending when there is a Repub in the White House.

Then maybe you would have a point

Trying half the time is still much better than the Dems.
