TL;DR Summary

The National Association of Government Employees (NAGE) has filed a lawsuit against President Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to block enforcement of a law that sets the nation’s debt limit, arguing it is unconstitutional. The lawsuit contends that if the debt limit is reached, President Biden and Yellen would be forced to decide which payments to prioritize, violating the separation of powers by taking over Congress’s spending authority. Yellen has said that the U.S. could default on its debt as early as June 1 if the borrowing limit is not raised.
