Nowhere In Here

Fourteenth Amendment

Section 1

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Section 2

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

Section 3

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Section 5

The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

The Constitution of the United States is the founding document on which all laws and governmental powers are based. That Democrats ignore this document is beyond dangerous and prevention of violation of these rules is the basis for the existence of the supreme court. Nowhere in the constitution does the president of the United States have control over spending. This was a piece of the idea behind Trump’s first fake impeachment, the withholding of funding already approved by congress for Ukraine. You know, the thing Trump didn’t do, but Biden did do as Vice President ostensibly to protect his own families corrupt international business interests.

Now Democrats in congress, having intentionally failed to negotiate a deal they want to sign, again want to violate the Constitution by claiming the fourteenth amendment allows the president to spend money without them. This act would ignore the constitutionally allowed debt ceiling laws made by congress.

The history of the United States debt ceiling deals with movements in the United States debt ceiling since it was created in 1917. Management of the United States public debt is an important part of the macroeconomics of the United States economy and finance system, and the debt ceiling is a limitation on the federal government’s ability to manage the economy and finance system. The debt ceiling is also a limitation on the federal government’s ability to finance government operations, and the failure of Congress to authorise an increase in the debt ceiling has resulted in crises, especially in recent years.

Wiki crap

Jonathan Turley has this nice article which explains this latest piece of insane leftist nonsense. Why Democrats think this MIGHT be ok, is way beyond me but both parties have been preemptively blamed for defaulting on the debt for decades, this time the Democrats seem to be blamed more? Who knows what the public actually thinks when nothing in the news makes sense.
