(131 posts)the President has had ever creditable constitutional lawyer in the U.S. Researching how he can "lawfully", through the Constitution, raise the debt limit without the threat of impeachment. I do not believe he is that "weak" or addle minded to make the threat of not negotiating "at all" unless he and this administration had something up their sleeves. I am just speculating of course, but even this President, at least I believe, would not be so bold to make such a statement unless he was very sure of what he will do under threat of republican sabotage and obstruction when it becomes time to raise the debt limit. You better believe the Republicans will be ready to do their worse, even if it means destroying the Nation, they did it once, they will try to do it again. Get the ready, because Republicans are going to try to the U.S. Citizens again.
