GovExec Daily: Dems Want to Change the Debt Ceiling Process
Eric Katz joins the podcast to discuss plans to overhaul the debt limit and keep government open.
Congress faced a debt limit crisis in December, but passed a short-term bill at the last minute before ultimately punting the issue to 2023. Because there is no roadmap for how the government would operate if it breaches its debt ceiling, Democrats this week introduced a bill that would allow the executive branch to issue new debt, as long as the president notifies Congress.
Eric Katz has been covering the debt limit bills in Congress. He joined the show to discuss the state of things on Capitol Hill.
