interesting. I think politicians have too much fun vilifying the other side over the ceiling to ever consider repealing it!

Hi John. Thanks for your interest. This article implies that repeal could be filibustered:

https://www.vox.com/2021/12/8/22820451/debt-ceiling-filibuster

But it also implies that the Senate could vote to eliminate a filibuster simply for one vote: to repeal a filibuster!

Which illustrates well that the filibuster rules are attempts to “tie one’s own hands,” which ain’t easy!

All the best,

jeff
