You think it is UNTRUE?I too know that the connstitution requires as you say BUT, its not politics as usual, and in a crisis , the president must act, assuming poower under the 14th amendment (sic).
Explain the Chicago Tribune report:
“
Under the emerging proposal, Obama would be able to order increases in the debt ceiling on his own, without congressional approval.
Congress would vote on legislation to block an increase, but if such a resolution passed, as is likely, Obama would veto it. If the veto was sustained by Congress, the debt limit would be increased.”
AND:
14th amendment spin:
