That the House of Representatives affirms that—
the Constitution gives Congress power over the Nation’s debts;
placing limitations on the debt is an essential exercise of Congress’ constitutional authority; and
removing limitations on the debt would—
inappropriately cede Congress’ constitutional authority;
remove a critical check on future increases in deficit spending and the national debt; and
potentially exacerbate the already unsustainable fiscal position of the United States, and as a consequence, its national security.
