Debating with myself whether to actually write up the billion and twelve reasons why if the President wants to ignore the debt ceiling he needs to mint the coin, rather than use the 14th amendment, but also ... kinda feel like it will have an interested readership of somewhere between -4 and 0.
@Pwnallthethings Unlike all the other bits of 31 USC 5112 authorizing coinage, subsection k ( the platinum coin one) doesn’t specify the shape, size, incscription, or anything else about the coin.
So, clearly, it should be forged in the shape of an operational firearm. That should clear things up.
