Mike included a direct quote from the 14th Amendment. None of the rest of the information linked - including anything in the article found via AI - contradicts that statement, so the info from your post on down is all pretty irrelevant.
The Amendment says what it says.
I think Mike makes a very interesting point. Seems to me that the only purpose the 'debt limit' serves in modern times is as a tool of extortion for some conservatives to try to extract some concessions or political points while putting the US (and world) economy in jeopardy. |
