Debt limit law faces potential suspension as unconstitutional.

A federal judge will hear arguments on May 31 about whether the debt limit law is unconstitutional and should be suspended. The National Association of Government Employees (NAGE) sued over the law, arguing it presents separation-of-powers issues. If the limit is reached, NAGE contends Biden would be forced to take over Congress’s spending authority by deciding which payments to prioritize over others. The hearing will come hours ahead of when the Biden administration warns the federal government could run out of funds to pay its obligations.

Union files lawsuit to eliminate US debt limit ahead of potential default.

The National Association of Government Employees (NAGE) has filed a lawsuit claiming that the US debt limit law is unconstitutional and violates the separation of powers. The union is seeking to strike down the law setting a debt limit and to block the Biden administration from limiting borrowing in the event of a default so it can continue funding government agencies. The US could run out of cash to meet its obligations as early as June 1, and the union is seeking an order temporarily blocking the debt limit law while the case proceeds.

Union sues Yellen and Biden over debt limit law.

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.
