and the congress would still have time to pass a clean bill, a clean debt ceiling bill, before midnight. the president could write it himself. he could hand write it if he wanted to. he could just take one that we've written before, use the same w0rds. just take the last one that was passed just last year. here it is, right here. all you have to do is change five digits. change the 14,294 to 16,700. that's it. you're done. that's the bill. the house and the senate can vote for it by voice vote in less than 10 minutes. that's how far the president can take this if he really wants to put the congress' back to the wall, as the clock continues to tick down.
