Mitch McConell, the Republican minority leader, today said Congress should grant the President the authority to raise the debt ceiling without Congress. The President would ask Congress for the authority to raise it, and they would have to grant it unless a veto-proof majority could be provided to stop it.
This plan seems sensible. This would actually get rid of the Congressional squabbling and political maneuvering, and this would almost eliminate the idea of a debt-ceiling almost completely. I'm not sure why McConnell would actually say this, considering it would give the Presidential branch more authority. However, I think I can support this plan.
