I don't think that's a reach. There's a credible argument that it compels the President to continue to service debts

- fnordpiglet 3y agoI think it’s even stronger than that. It doesn’t just compel the president, which is a political office, but it compels every civil servant in the treasury as it’s a constitutional mandate. So in theory even if the president declares no debt payment, the treasury would still make the payments.
