Congress Cedes Constitutional Power To Obama As Part Of Debt Deal

The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse, but according to number of media sources, last night's debt-ceiling deal just ceded some of this power to Barack Obama...

(Breitbart) Capitol Hill talk regarding the Senate deal apparently includes a provision that would take away the Congress’ power to increase the debt ceiling. According to Politico, it looks like the buzz appears to be true.:

The plan includes a proposal offered by McConnell in the 2011 debt ceiling crisis that allows Congress to disapprove of the debt ceiling increase, which means lawmakers will formally vote on whether to reject a debt ceiling increase until Feb. 7. Obama can veto that legislation if it passes. If Congress fails as expected to gather a two-thirds majority to override the veto, the debt ceiling would be raised.

  1. Good grief! If this is true, it's like giving a 16-year old your American Express card! This man has no desire to cut spending.

  2. It is the 87 Republicans that are to blame. They betrayed the constitution which they took an oath to uphold. They betrayed the people and they betrayed their country showing nothing but cowardice and deceit. Let them feel the full wrath of the taxpayers!

    1. Would you care to elaborate as to how the Republicans betrayed the constitution?? As for cowardice and deceit, how is this possible? We were told by the MSM throughout the ordeal how "in your face" they were. Are you contradicting the MSM?

  3. The sad thing having no budgets since 2009 was by design. As long as Obummer is the President and the Democrats control the Senate we will continue to have Continuing Resolutions.Its like he has said he go around Congress if doesn't get what he wants. With having CRs Obummer has taken the 'Power Of The Peruse away from Congress and there is noway to control the spending. And he never cut the spending.

  4. FOLKS, WE MUST, MUST GET RID OF ALL THESE RINOs in sheeps clothing. IT IS NOW IMPERATIVE THAT WE TAKE THE SENATE BY A WIDE MAJORITY IN 2014 AND...WE MUST INCREASE THE NUMBERS OF TEA PARTY CONSERVATIVES IN THE HOUSE. WE NEED CONSTITUTIONALIST WITH A SPINE, HONOR, HONESTY, INTEGRITY, CHARACTER, AND LOYALTY TO AMERICAN VALUES.

  5. Article 1, Section 7 gives The House The power of the purse. The Senate may only amend. Read it again. So it is 3 billion to Kentucky Larceny, for McConnell's betrayal. And now Amnesty will be Rammed Through. And of all People, Bolton says stop fighting each Other As If All are Defending The Republic. Bolton, you are not awake.

  6. Why on Earth allow Fairy Reid to dictate what needs to be done?
    Get a life people. 1. Deport Obama (being an illegal alien,' and let another election take place to install two (yes, I said TWO) replacement candidates for the remainder of this Presidential term. Since the 'illegal alien' was never LEGAL, and Biden was well-aware of this fact, the two candidates for the remainder of this term must be Republican (and NOT Republican in name only).
