The General Counsel of the Treasury Department has just sent out an email to the New York Times which seems to say definitively that Secretary Geithner believes that only Congress can raise the debt limit and has full authority to force the country into default. In other words, nothing President Obama or the Treasury can do about it.
He wages war without Congress’ authority – and according to the Constitution, only Congress can wage war.
And, don't tell Geitner (who helped cause this situation in the first place), but the Treasury Department is neither White House Counsel or Supreme Court.
