Bill Clinton, Problem Solver

By Joseph Lawler on 7.19.11 @ 5:44PM

How would Bill Clinton handle the debt ceiling? He would ignore it, invoking the Constitution, and "force the courts to stop me."

How would he solve the jobs crisis? By painting all the roofs white, of course.

Keep in mind that he was a Constitutional law professor, and a Rhodes Scholar.

How about "How would Mr. Clinton teach me to be faithful to my wife?" Or "How would Mr. Clinton teach me to be a credible witness in a trial?" The list could go on and on.

How would Bill solve the problems in Haiti? With his great foundation...oh that's right they are still living in tents. Can't he just go to a bar and retire and spare us all his wisdom. Go have a drink with Jimma and remember the good ole days down yonder in the South.

This would not be useful in Minnesota.

As I like to point out, the competition to get into Law School is much less than Med School, and the quality of Intellectual Competition is much less---over 60% of HLS, year in and year out, graduate with honors.

Slick Willie, a criminal to the core. Of course he'd ignore congress.

If he knew The Constitution he would know the following 3 simple points:
1) Courts declare legislation to be Consitutional or un-Constitutional, not Presidents;
2) the Constitution gives the Congress the legal right to spend money, not the President; and
3) the 14th Amendment says "validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law... shall not be questioned," it doesn't say anything about the President having the authority to pay those debts.... as stated in #2 above, only Congress (specifically the House) can authorize payment.

I learned that from a High School Civics class, yet Obama and Clinton who taught the Constitution in colleges don't know that? I think their students should get a refund.
