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

[DManA]

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.

[LOC1]

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.

And we should believe Bill Clinton as a Constitutional authority because ......

Why, exactly?

[blackdog]

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.

I guess that means Clinton would have been impeached twice.
