Read the powers of the branches of Government. Only Congress has the power to incur debt for the Government.
I don't think raising the ceiling is incurring debt. I think it is subjective. I get credit card offers in the mail everyday. It's up to me (Congress) to decide to use them.
However the move as I see it is also political suicide for the President.
Oh...I see the point you are making.
Saying "we can borrow more" is not the same as actually borrowing more.
Yoiu are correct.
But what happens when it is time to borrow more?
He blames Congress for not doing it.
