1. Spank his bare ass on the Capitol steps till he cries "uncle"

Act like a two year old, get treated like one.

(Note: I have a toddler and have never/would never hit...mostly because she's more together than Boner)

3. I wonder if the administration can sue lawmakers/speaker for violating the 14th ammendment

the congress routinely sues the administration ... has the reverse ever happened?

[srican69]

2. Please explain your choice between minting coin and ignoring debt ceiling.

I chose minting the coin as it seems the least risky legal way around it...

Ignoring the Debt ceiling voilates at least one law

7. The coin

Not only for your stated reason, but because it would be a good step towards some dispelling some bullshit ideas about money and federal financing.

4. I say the coin.

And it should have his image on it just to really fuck with them.

5. that will be too funny !!!

6. Hahaha

There would such a mess after all the little heads exploded if he did that.

8. Since this is a war ...I'm for invoking the War Powers Act.

9. Take the 14th and challenge the debt ceiling in court

Since Section 4 of the 14th Amendment states that the validity of the public debt cannot be questioned, the President has a case declaring the debt ceiling unconstitutional.

10. Lock every Congress-critter in the chamber, and don't let 'em out.....

until they pass a clean budget resolution and debt-ceiling increase.

Call it a "shut-down lock-in"!
