    He, the President is given a fourth choice, sign the bill. If he makes the choice not to sign, he will be in default.

    If the house sends a bill to the president and senate and they say no, the law says that the law is what the house has said. The congress, supreme court and adminstration are equal, but the money is in the house. It's not that there is not money, All money going out is deteermined by the house, and the loans are by the house or making a money law is useless.

    The House can spend and if its more than left on the credit card have the option of then either revising their spending, raise taxes to cover the expense or raise the debt limit. nothing unconstitutional at all. at the 28 minute time

    If the President exceeds the budget set by Congress, what is the choice? What if the President has already overstepped and over-rode the Constitution?

    I interpret it as, if the government doesn't pay its debts, no one shall question it 😂

    So here we are again being held hostage. I had hoped to learn what dire consequences occur if the president uses the 14th amendment regarding debt ceiling. all I am taking away is the president Hass to do something unconstitutional no matter which direction president takes. What am I missing?

      The constitution isn't perfect, it requires the legislature the power to spend money, but includes the president in the process. If congress passes a spending budget that ends up costing more than their arbitrary spending ceiling (debt limit) the congress places the president in a dilemma on how to fulfill his oath to preform his duties as president. Congress is abrogating its duties to the president to sort out their problem of placing a debt ceiling on their spending bill. Biden must try to work with Congress on spending legislation for future budgets, but the past is done, and the bills are due. Biden must do the least damaging act required by his oath to the office of the president. Raise the money and the debt ceiling because defaulting would be more ruinous to the United States.

      The debt was blown up by the last president (45), a Republican President, with Tax Giveaways
      to the Wealthiest Americans.
      So, I guess, my question is, What is going on
      that the Republicans won’t pay their Debt?
      Specifically Republican Debt.
      How are they (R) fulfilling their Oath’s?

      seems what you are missing is that cutting spending is not unconstitutional

    Write an Executive Order to preserve the good faith and credit by invoking the 14th Amendment that we shall pay our bills. The "ceiling is an artificial artifice".
    The Constitution is above the administration of the law.
    Ask forgiveness later. "Not done before" is nonsense.
    When administrating artificial respiration, sometimes bones get broken.
