8th Amendment cuts through the noise and raises the Debt Ceiling

Hope says "Obama JUST DO IT!  Sign an Executive Order to raise the Debt Ceiling under the US Constitution 8th Amendment - 'nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted'.

You are the ONLY world leader who can prevent a US Default, protect Americans and global citizens from  an economic system meltdown that would indeed be' a cruel and unusual punishments inlficted' on all of us.

The Founding Fathers are behind you..this is precisely the type of situation that they crafted and signed this amendment in 1791.

Hope exclaims "Crashing the global economy and removing the citizens ability to purchase food, water, clothes, shelter, electricity, communications and all other transactions requiring a currency to complete would strip away the dignity of man and cause massive consequences for global trade and development".

BACKGROUND

Divestiture of the citizenship of a natural born citizen was held in Trop v. Dulles,48 again by a divided Court, to be constitutionally forbidden as a penalty more cruel and “more primitive than torture,” inasmuch as it entailed statelessness or “the total destruction of the individual’s status in organized society.” “The question is whether [a] penalty subjects the individual to a fate forbidden by the principle of civilized treatment guaranteed by the Eighth Amendment.” A punishment must be examined “in light of the basic prohibition against inhuman treatment,” and the Amendment was intended to preserve the “basic concept . . . [of] the dignity of man” by assuring that the power to impose punishment is “exercised within the limits of civilized standards.”49
