Does anyone know what the process is for an agreement between the Executive and the Legislative? Is it legally binding or is it just based on political capital? That's to say, suppose for argument's sake that Biden agreed to GOP demands for budget cuts and then Congress raised the ceiling. Putting aside the notion that Biden can't force the Senate to accept anything (and Biden's integrity), what's to prevent Biden from simply reneging after the crisis is over?
discussions like this are complicated by the fact that only one of the 2 parties has any integrity at all
