Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

...

Section 4 confirmed the legitimacy of all United States public debt appropriated by the Congress. It also confirmed that neither the United States nor any state would pay for the loss of slaves or debts that had been incurred by the Confederacy. For example, several English and French banks had lent money to the South during the war.[48] In Perry v. United States (1935), the Supreme Court ruled that under Section 4 voiding a United States government bond "went beyond the congressional power."[49] Legal analyst Jeffrey Rosen has argued that Section 4 gives the president unilateral authority to raise or ignore the national debt ceiling, and that if challenged the Supreme Court would likely rule in favor of expanded executive power or dismiss the case altogether for lack of standing.[50]

Re: Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
But their is also international treaties and agreements signed by designated representatives of The US government that might make this whole affair even more difficult.

The thing is, we just don't know the answer, thus we can't calculate the exact damage that might be done either way. That's why you are watching Stupidity theater in Congress tonight. They don't know, they just don't want to find out.

Now-we need a law team that is capable of actually telling us what the government has done over the years with regard to this debt.

You know, Obama did say he would create jobs. I just never thought it might be more lawyers. Shoulda known.

If it is "truly" own by other nations, and will put our citizens into slavery to pay this debt... Then yeah, it's illegitimate. So if it's like so many say, "Israel is the real owners" this debt can't be forced onto the US taxpayers...

Impeaching the President is not done by the public. Congress has to vote to impeach and that's just not gonna happen in Obama's case.

Two U.S. Presidents have been impeached, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, and neither one was removed from office.

It's our desire to take on MORE debt that is being questioned.

“Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all! By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall!”—John Dickenson, The Liberty Song

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams

"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."—Ayn Rand

The debt incurred via the confederacy was not owed by the North. This is what it says. How is the debt incurred by the current US government not a result of the current US government.

Sometimes I am confused why so many cannot read English when it is their first language. The federal reserve was created by the US Government.
