Petition for the President to invoke the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling.
Why is this important?
The 14th Amendment states, “The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payments of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion,” the critical sentence says, “shall not be questioned.” The President can use it to prevent extremist elements in Congress from using the debt ceiling as economic extortion to force right wing policy on him, Congress and the American people.
