The U.S. Constitution provision in the Fourteenth Amendment and the U.S. debt ceiling
07/07/2011
Constitutional scholar Lawrence Tribe says the President would be violating powers given to Congress on public debt if he were to ignore the debt ceiling by citing the constitution. Even if the issue was then resolved by the Supreme Court the damage will have been done as interest rates on U.S. debt would have jumped by then. Tribe quotes Justice John Marshall that "the constitution is not a panacea for every blot on the public welfare." And suggests that Obama's own words about the constitution's function being " to force us into a conversation" about the future," show that the direction to take is to go back to working out the debt ceiling agreement through talks.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
