Planted question, or no? 😉

Larry Tribe invokes the "good and plenty" clause of the 14th Amendment.

Dammit, I may have to write another Substack.
"Section 4 of the 14th Amendment directly addresses the public debt, asserting that 'The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.'"
Shall not be questioned by whom?
And how do you get an executive power out of this clause?
And doesn't "the public debt of the United States" here mean that which has already been incurred?
Exactly. The 14th says that the debt shall not be questioned, but here we have Biden and other politicians spending months questioning the debt and even threatening not to pay it, and they really need to called out on that.
This is a president explicitly threatening to violate constitutional principle, and no one seems to care.
