He may as well. None of the other laws mean anything to him.
Sadly, I’ve thought this for some time and am sure our little dictator will do it.
First ignoring the War Powers act and now a potential use of power to ignore Congress and the law? Slippery slope to a dictator starts here..
Well, let’s see if this happens as it could just be a head fake to try and intimidate Congress. Impeachment would be a proper first step and then placed into jail the next.
What’s next? Obama loses election but ignores results because he deems it an emergency he stay in office?
Sometimes satire is too real to be funny.
Well done, John. Very well done indeed.
I sugggest then that Congress start ignoring the President.
Step One: Defund the Executive Branch.
How exactly does The One do that? The House controls the purse strings last I heard. Our Marxist Usurper can say what ever he likes about the debt ceiling, but if the House thumbs its collective nose at him he’s dead in the water.
Of course, that will require integrity and courage by the House majority. Remains to be seen if it delivers.
How high is the debt limit right now? The ceiling is currently set at $14.294 trillion. The country's accrued debt hit that mark on the morning of May 16.
But by taking various extraordinary measures like suspending investments in federal retirement funds, Geithner will be able to bring total debt down enough to allow the government to continue borrowing until Aug. 2.
Hence, by the end of trade on May 17, total debt subject to the limit was a mere $25 million shy of the official cap -- or $14,293,975,000,000. Total debt can fluctuate up or down on any given day.
How is the ceiling determined? They don't admit it, but lawmakers tacitly agree to raise the debt ceiling every time they vote for a spending hike or tax cut.
"Congress has already passed and the president has already signed legislation that increases spending or decreases revenues. Those decisions have already been made," said Susan Irving, director for federal budget issues at the Government Accountability Office."... from: The communist news network at: http://money.cnn.com/2011/01/03/news/economy/debt_ceiling_faqs/index.htm
Dick Obama already ignored the debt ceiling. And the war powers act. And the 4th amendment. And the 2nd. The kenyan is waging war on America and is winning.
