There is no authority given in the 14th Amendment to the executive branch.

Then the 14th gives the President the authority to declare war and borrow money to pay for it.

Why are we paying congressmen when they have no constitutional job to do?

According to Obama and Clinton the boiled down Constitution says - The President may do what he sees fit.

This is a really dumb idea.

If Obama tried this, the Supreme Court would clearly find it to be unconstitutional, after the time it took to get the issue to the Supreme Court.

That means that all of the US debt issued during the time that Obama exercised this approach would be invalid.

Talk about ruining the US AAA rating, that would surely do it.

There’s a hidden clause in the 14th amendment that says quite clearly that it is to have the opposite effect of the Magna Carta. Power is given to the King instead of taken away.

Does anyone besides me find this comment on the part of a past president a bit inappropriate? Obama should tell him to STFU with public comments.

Of course....however, W wondered the same thing. W went to the UN to give a speech...and who was waiting there in the hallway for him...bubba boy...W commented 'man doesn't this cat have anything better to do?' W also said when it was over for him it'd be over and he was looking forward to those days being over for good...yet, here was bubba boy still trying to be in the mix.

That's not correct and you know it. According to them, the Constitution say that "The President may do what he sees fit, but only if he is a Democrat."

Please get your facts straight. :>)

It’s not the first impeachable offense...there is now a list of them...this could be the final one, if he is stupid enough to do it.

Tell Clinton to shut up? Obama needs Clinton to explain his actions every now and then when he gets in over his head. Which is becoming more and more frequently.

Yup, and that is what Billey Boy thinks. The war is the communists in Washington at war with it's people. He believes it. This whole Washington thing needs to be downsized or completely replaced. All hail King Obama, the communists black Muslim and his communists empire.

“Impeachable offense.”

Maybe Willie would like to whip out his pocket Constitution and explain the sections that cover impeachment to Barry :)

I think 0 is listening to Clinton and Clinton is out to destroy 0. This “change the goal posts at the last minute to destroy the deal” is the exact same move Clinton pulled in 1995. I think Clinton is egging on 0 to commit political suicide as pay back for beating Hillary in 2008
