To: President Donald Trump
Defy Debt Ceiling Law
If in late February the House of Representatives attempts to use its "leverage" to force tax or spending concessions by stopping the debt limit increase, then President Obama should simply defy it issuing an executive order to the Treasury Dept directing it to continue all funding operations regardless of any such debt increase limitations. (Any impeachment attempt by the House would be quickly rejected by the Senate).
Why is this important?
The country is about to be threatened into intentional default and massive downgrade of its debt.. i.e. if the Republican House of Representatives is allowed to use a 1917 debt limit law as blackmail forcing tax and spending concessions from the Democrats.
