Expresses the sense of the Senate that Congress should: (1) not relinquish its long utilized authority vested in the U.S. Constitution to borrow money on the credit of the United States by refusing to debate, amend, and vote on a bill to address the debt limit; and (2) not provide the executive branch with exclusive power to issue debt on behalf of the federal government.
