Here’s your daily dose of everyone’s favorite Republican House member, Michele Bachmann from Minnesota.
Bachmann has now picked up some new cosponsors in her efforts to amend the Constitution to forbid the use of a foreign/global money as the legal tender of the United States: Trent Franks (R-AZ), Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), and Kenny Marchant (R-TX). She now has a total of 34 cosponsors, in addition to herself as the primary sponsor.
Of course, there is no such threat to replace the dollar as America’s currency. Even if a global currency of some kind were adopted — and even that isn’t in any way a sure thing — it would be for international exchanges and reserves, not for domestic use.
