yes, the president is not in charge of the purse strings and the 14th amendment has not empowered the executive branch to be able to pay for anything. ever. never has, never will.

Isn’t it kind of amazing? 14th amendment passes during reconstruction after the civil war. But only now has any president decided it means he can borrow all the money he wants without congressional approval.

Zippy big ears sees it differently than every other US president since President Johnson. And thats ANDREW Johnson, not Lyndon.

I don’t even know why they pretend like the 14th amendment says anything like what they apparently want it to say, except that the word “debt” is in it. Or maybe it’s just that I still haven’t gotten hold of the secret decoder rings they use to read the real Constitution.
