(The Center Square) – A coalition of 19 attorneys general signed a letter urging President Joe Biden not to expand his executive powers to raise or ignore the debt ceiling without congressional approval.
Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti led the group and was prompted by Biden’s statements on his assertion the executive branch has authority under the 14th Amendment to bypass Congress.
