Is it "Congress's" Constitutional Duty To Raise The Debt Ceiling?

[struth]

Read Article 14, lil bro.

where does it say it’s Congress duty to raise the debt ceiling? quote it

The final bill is the result of the two Houses of Congress putting forth their bills, then negotiating with each other to craft a final version, which is a compromise between the two. Why are the democrats in the Senate dragging their feet? It's their fault the process is stalled.

Nice try!

It's called the 'Limit, Save and Grow Act'. And that POS legislation is DOA! We are not cutting anything! Get that through your fucking head!

The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution states that the validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, shall not be questioned1. Some legal scholars argue that this clause gives the Treasury Department the ability to keep borrowing money past the current $31.4 trillion debt limit that requires congressional approval to raise or lift2.

Thus the duty of the Congress is to raise the debt. Sit down.

Think about it. Karine Jean-Pierre says:

“You’ve heard from the president multiple times during the last five months. He’s been very clear,” she said. “You’ve heard from the president; you’ve heard from the economic team; you’ve heard from Democrats, the leadership in the House, in the Senate talk — speak to this about the urgency, about Congress actually needing to act and doing their constitutional duty.”

So, if it was set up that it is up to Congress to raise the debt ceiling then that pretty much means that it isn't an automatic thing if they have to decide to do it. So, it is not Congress's Constitutional duty to just raise the debt ceiling automatically because it was set up that they debate it.

Further, I find it fairly amusing that some Democrats want to use the 14th amendment from 1868 to override a law from 1917.

Not to mention, Republicans in the House have already passed a debt ceiling increase. We're waiting on the Senate and Biden to pass it into law.

The validity of the debt shall not be questioned, according to the 14th. Sit down, people. It will be raised.

It's called the 'Limit, Save and Grow Act' and it's DOA! We told your adults, no spending cuts! What part of this do you not understand? NO FUCKING CUTS!

Seeing that you don’t know what you’re talking about, You should just STFU. You make a bag of hammers look like a guiding light of intelligence.

Government doesn’t take in 4 trillion dollars per month. From October 2022 to April 2023 the federal government received close the three Trillion dollars in revenues.
