    There are only two options to deal with the debt limit: Congress can pay its bills or they can fail to act and put the nation into default.

What a lame thing to say. They should be very clear that they're not going to play this game again. The President should issue an executive order that unilaterally raises the debt ceiling, and basically dare Congress to challenge him in court. Congress can't pass a debt ceiling bill; how will they jointly pass a resolution to oppose the President?
