Why can't Biden just sign an executive order to raise the debt limit?

The crazy 10 Trumpers in congress have demonstrated a full blown nihilistic attitude towards the country. They have one goal and one goal only. Create Chaos and attempt to sabotage everything the current administration does. Trump literally tells them to vote against everything that might help the country and possibly make Biden look good. And they have done so. The problem is the big money GOP donors don’t want a default. So we will learn more about backroom promises McCarthy made to the crazies.

Trumpism continues to be a stain on this country.

this isn't a budget issue. It is an issue of paying for things we ALREADY agreed to pay for

That is what the budget is for. Your comment has literally NOTHING to do with the debt ceiling. Did you even pass 9th grade civics?

Funny how the debt ceiling wasn't an issue 2016-2020...

Out of all that I stated, you want to fight about that one sentence? I am familiar with budget issues and debt ceiling. Question by O.P: Why can't Biden eliminate debt ceiling with executive order?

Debt ceiling is not like sending C.I.A. &/or special forces overseas on a 25 hour mission.

If Biden tried to raise debt ceiling without Congressional approval, McCarthy could immediately take the case to federal court. Biden would lose.

Both sides have used the debt ceiling as a negotiating tool. Basically, they play chicken with a mack truck loaded with explosives in the middle of a highly populated area. Neither side seems particularly concerned with the collateral damage so the citizens.

But for those who think that Republicans are doing this for fiscal responsibility, check out the historical debt by year and remember who was president each full year. Under Trump the deficit went up every year before COVID despite having half his time in office with a Republican controlled Congress & Senate. The top legislative accomplishment of Trump was a tax break for the rich which caused a deficit problem. Now the Republican congress wants to hold the country hostage to defund the IRS - the means to collect revenue! Does this sound like fiscal responsibility? They are just trying to do everything they can to pin a crisis on Biden even if it burns down the country in the process. Gotta own the libs.

he would lose because of the all the incels on the court..... the 14th amendment is pretty clear. And your post was not factually accurate and reflected an ignorance of what you were talking about. Sorry I triggered you

It can be used as leverage to effect such a result. Stop listening to the narrative of your witless leader. If the tables were reversed, Democrats would be employing the same tactics, but they would be angling for more food stamps for transgender illegal alien sex workers instead of budget cuts. The point of a debt ceiling is to limit spending.

No, he doesn't. Article 1 is clear, and the 14th Amendment's "authorized by law" is also clear.

While you're at it, can you name one instance where the current SCOTUS ignored the constitution? I can certainly name instances where the current SCOTUS helped Democrats.

Because he does not care. I actually think it is funny that people think he does care. He was just at Howard University talking about how white supremacy is the biggest issue in our country. That is not even close to the biggest issue what about inflation and unemployment, or what about the insane interest rates for car loans and mortgages? The fact that he keeps talking about these issues is only causing more problems in our country. Think of it this way if you are in marriage that had an issue with the husband or wife having an affair and you have gone to therapy and have worked through the issue is constantly bringing it up going to allow you to move on? No, it would continue the cycle of hostility. He is bringing up the issue of racism in our country because it is his only leg to stand on! The fact that he constantly talks about it should let you know what he really thinks about minorities. He acts differently around them because of what he really thinks behind closed doors!

You’re mistaken. No federal workers have been laid off ever and definitely not due to a debt ceiling fight. You’re thinking of budget fights, which occasionally “shut down” the government. But the workers who are furloughed always get paid any wages that were missed.

Since 2000, real wages adjusted for inflation has increased 0.5% per year. The population has increased 1% per year. The government spending (budget) has gone up 15% per year(adjusted for inflation).
where has all this money gone???

no political party is on our side, don’t forget that.

Americans have a seriously messed up understanding of the debt ceiling

The Wall Street Journal reported that its poll vis-à-vis raising the debt limit indicated that

This!

Out of all the posts on this thread, this is the only one that correctly identifies what a default is. And he is correct that it IS NOT going to happen.

To the OP. The president does not have Constitutional authority to unilaterally borrow money. The US is not a dictatorship despite the desire of the Republicrats for it to be so.

True. This is the stupidest post I've seen in a long time, and naturally was made by a Democrat. They keep paying the debts, yes, but other things shut down. How forgetful are these people?

If Trump or DumpSantis was president Trump's Supreme Court would allow it.

In fairness If tiy drive through Black Neighborhoods you will notice many of the Houses and Apartments have Bars over The Windows and in Many Stores there is Plexiglass separating the Items and/or Cashier from potential Theft an d harm, People do not do these things unless they are living in fear so CLEARLY many Blacks are worried about White Supremacists breaking into their Houses and robbing the stores. Oprah Winfrey is so scared of White Supremacists attacking her that she has a Personal securityTeam of Trained Armed Men to keep her safe from the White Supremacists who are always plotting and planning to attack Black People. Biden knows Blacks are always living in great fear of White Supremacists and that is their greatest fear and #1 Issue because they want to be safe And biden's main job is to keep the American People safe.

If you drive

Tiy was a typo

LOL. Good one.

They should not be President and neither should Biden or Harris as VP all are unqualified for the position. The correct person for the job is an educated honest American who wants to lead our country and I hate to say it but it does not exist in the American political system of our country.
