A proposed pathway to counteract the Republican Party's economic terrorism.
This is a proposal to the Biden administration on how it might get the debt ceiling law declared unconstitutional by a federal courtIt's not hyperbolic to say that congressional Republicans are engaging in economic terrorism. They've taken the U.S. and global economy hostage and threatened to shoot it if President Joe Biden doesn't pay a ransom of cutting spending that Congress has already appropriated.
Even Professor Tribe, who during the 2011 debt ceiling stand-off between President Obama and Speaker Biden was skeptical that the Constitution provided an off-ramp, has now written to me directly that he's"long since rethought and revised" this view. He tweeted:"Some of history's greatest lessons echo the words of Amazing Grace: 'We once were blind but now we see.
Foner proposes that"if the current House of Representatives abdicates this responsibility, throwing the nation into default by refusing to raise the debt limit, President Biden should act, taking steps to ensure that the federal government meets its financial obligations, as the Constitution requires."
