Democrats Urge Obama To Just Raise Debt Ceiling Himself

Quote from 377OHMS:

My phone has trouble displayng politico.com. Can you remind me what the 14th amendment is?

Ohms, there is a phrase in the 14th Amendment that says, the validity of the U.S. government’s debt “shall not be questioned.” Democrats are arguing that this gives the President the power to raise the debt ceiling on his own to satify this wording. Obviously, most do not agree with this view.

Former President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, has said that if it came to averting a U.S. default, he would invoke the 14th Amendment, raise the debt ceiling and “force the courts to stop me.”

This is why democrats love you Bill

I doubt Obama's got the stones to do this.

Now see there, we don't disagree on everything.

Sounds like Moody's maybe breaking the law by downgrading our debt.

He should hold several more press conferences first.

Have you noticed that since Reid took 'revenue enhancements' off the table that Obama is the only party to this adventure still talking taxes ?

Do you think the thought, "how can I turn this into an opportunity for a coup...", has crossed Obama's mind?

Excluding 75% of the public, yes, Obama is the only one left.
