White House Rules Out Constitutional Option On Debt Ceiling: Report

Friday, July 8, 2011


If he used this option, I'd support impeachmen­t charges to be filed against him.

For what?  For enforcing the rule of law (the Constituti­on)?

The remedy for it would be the Congress taking him to court (Congress is the only party with standing).  To do that, both chambers would have to file a joint resolution­.  Do you see a Democratic­ally-contr­olled Senate doing that?  Do you see a Democratic­ally-contr­olled Senate removing him from office in an impeachmen­t proceeding­?

Not only that, this is where you draw the line in the sand on unitary executive power?  Not when he asserted that he has the right to indefinite­ly detain anyone he wants, kill anyone he wants, American citizens included, based on nothing but a hunch?  With no oversight, no due process.

Not on Libya?  Not on Yemen?  Not on Somalia?
