Schumer confirms White House considering ignoring debt limit

Can someone please explain how any interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, Section 4, enables the Treasury to exceed the debt limit set by Congress in the current setting?

In my view, you are correct. The appropriation that exceeds the limit is not a debt--it only becomes a debt when money is borrowed. This argument is bogus.

In addition, in order to get to Court with this argument, someone would need to take the risk of being wrong and required to personally pay the money back. None of that is going to happen.

This is why Humma Abedan has said:

“I’d Schumer have a Weiner!”

But you have got to notice that we are seeing a complete array of unconstitutional liberal fascist markers from these leftists.The list of them is VERY long.

Ah, so this is how fascism works.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yes, exactly, and the markers defined by history lead one to that inevitable conclusion:

AMERICA HAS ELECTED A LIBERAL FASCIST GOVERNMENT.

Its either the peoples destruction or theirs. It is a clear choice.And we need to make it clearly, not relying solely on the propaganda being pushed as fact by these Obama Regime enemies of a free people.

“...if Geithner wishes to spend in excess of the debt limit, he would be provoking yet another constitutional crisis.”

I believe that is exactly what Obama is doing: overloading the system with crises to the point of collapse as per Cloward-Piven strategy. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloward%E2%80%93Piven_strategy

Hey, that's what the Dems do. Remember that the Constitution is old and obsolete.

And when they establish a precedent and the Republicans use it in their favor, the Dems whine and complain.

Sorry, try this.

. Since when did the Executive branch become all-powerful?

Since the king took control.
