17. As to the debt, please see Reply 16. You think DUers don't know there's a Congress, or a SCOTUS?
Or a Constitution? It's some secret only people who support Obama on everything can grasp? Please, Louise.

The Constitution also created an Executive/Administrative Branch, including the Treasury, and a CIC. Funny, the CIC can start bombing a nation that never attacked us on his own, when the Constitution says only Congress can start war, but can't end DADT on his own, when the Constitution gives the CIC and Congress overlapping and concurrent powers over the military.

Funny, the Constitution gives Congress ALL the legislative power in the United States, yet Obama can propose a commission whose recommendations must become law, but he can't invoke the 14th Amendment, as interpreted by the SCOTUS in Perry v. U.S. and use his power over the Treasury.

Obama seems to be very selective about when he is a unitary executive and when he is a slave to Congress. And, by the way, Democrats in Congress usually do what a Democratic President wants them to do anyway.
