Obama asks Congress for $1.2 trillion increase in nation’s borrowing limit - The Washington Post
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama is asking Congress for another $1.2 trillion increase in the nations debt limit.
The request is largely a formality. Its the third and final request the president is allowed under a deal the White House and lawmakers reached in August to prevent a government default.
But Republicans are likely to use the election-year request as an opportunity to criticize the presidents spending policies.
Congress has 15 days to reject the presidents request. The White House says Obama would veto any objections in order to avoid a default.
