Which methods have been affirmed by the courts? Congress controls the budget/purse by constitution right? I heard somewhere that the tech doesn't even exist to prioritize spending beyond a pure FIFO spending approach.
- sn0wf1re 3y agoI think they are saying they would like to have the debt limit as a concept taken to court by Biden ignoring it. The debt limit itself is not explicitly in the constitution.
- tssva 3y agoI believe they meant that they wish whatever method Biden chooses is affirmed by the courts when the eventual case challenging it comes. Some believe the debt limit is unconstitutional due to the 14th amendment which states, "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." I think it is a shaky argument, but I'm not a constitutional lawyer or any other kind of lawyer.
