Democrats urge Obama to be ready to bypass Congress on debt limit
.

You Democrats are about to cross the line with this shit!

ONLY Congress has the right to do this:
Article I, Section 8. "The Congress shall have power ...
To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;"



[link to news.yahoo.com]

Top Democratic senators urged President Barack Obama on Friday to be ready to raise the debt ceiling without congressional approval in order to avert a damaging debt default.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his leadership team said Obama should use "any lawful steps" under his authority to "ensure that America does not break its promises and trigger a global economic crisis."

They urged Obama to act on his own if Republicans insist on a debt limit extension that is coupled with "unbalanced or unreasonable" spending cuts.

Some analysts and Democrats believe the 14th Amendment of the Constitution gives the president the authority to raise the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling unilaterally.

It's fucking amazing that the leader of one branch of Congress
is asking the Executive Branch to violate the Constitution
and usurp power away from both branches of Congress.

Harry Reid is becoming a clear and present danger to the People.

The executive branch was never meant to have the ability to control the budget for all of government.

Re: Democrats urge Obama to be ready to bypass Congress on debt limit
The thing that amuses me, is when he was in the senate, he said it was morally wrong to raise the debt limit. That it is inslaving our children.

Now as potus, he sings a new tune.

So first we hear that POTUS might use an executive order to push through a new mandate on guns

basically giving the finger to representative government

Now the elected members themselves are begging him to bypass them and again rule by fiat

Why bother having elections then?

Apparently we just got ourselves a king

Y'know, I didnt like Bush much either, but honestly , if Bush had done half this crap, democrats would be howling tyranny and dictatorship

but when their guy does it, it's A-OK

Both sides suck eggs...time for a new party, obviously these two aren't up for the job of representing us

You may have misinterpreted the point. That happens in this format of communication often.

Re: Democrats urge Obama to be ready to bypass Congress on debt limit
This shit is getting outta hand. These members of congress that are suggesting that he use an E.O. for things that won't pass through the house and Senate should be held for treason.

We have a system for creating laws here in America. If law can be created by one man and his pen, then I'm sorry folks, our president will be a dictator and this will in fact be a communist dictatorship.

And really, to other countries we must look like fools. Hypocritical, out of control fools.

What I think is big fun that you Yanks hardly see the difference between a deficit problem and a new weapon rule. In between your US Army is already involveld in a war against Mali in Africa.

You serious ... begins?? No fly lists, TSA pat downs and privacy invasions, warrantless communications monitoring, weaponized drone assassinations approved by President Small Ball, governing by executive orders, enforce the law of land including the Constitution only when it fits the agenda, not pass a budget going on 4 years

Add it all up and the US of A is well on the way.
