“Constitutional Option”?
WTF?
So disregarding the Constitution and doing what you want is the “Contitutional Option”?
Sounds more like dictatorship.
To: Cringing Negativism Network
Actually it is the unconstitutional option. The very words in section 5:
>Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.<
Kind of gives a clue to who has the power to enforce amendment 14. Don’t think the executive branch is mentioned in section 5. Maybe I’m just not a constitutional scholar.

There is no way and no how the Dems will test this during the current sitting court. It is too great a chance that the Supremes will strike this down.
They’ll suck it up and wait until they get a favourable court and then get the court to strike a precedence so they can use that forever more.

We are talking about a guy who used the phrase, “it depends on what your definition of ‘is’ is”. He would not be above misreading the constitution.

Shadow-President Clinton and Faux-President Obama are holding hands while doing the "Good Cop, Bad Cop" shuffle.

It is everything that I would expect from someone trying to get his wife into the white house by suggesting Obama should violate the laws of the constitution.
Obama does that and he will never see the democrat convention.

14th Amendment is about confederate states paying civil war debts.
To: TigerLikesRooster
He could do that but it still doesn’t give him the power to raise taxes and that is what he is after.

Hey, that’s right! Billy Blyth the Sink Emperor is the ONLY Presidente to actually be impeached. The attempt to impeach Andrew Johnson failed by a single vote IIRC.
When is some politician going to finally say publically to Klinton, “Shut up, you lying dirtbag! We don’t want to hear from you! Who cares what you think!!?”
