Senate Debt Deal Weakens Congress on Debt Ceiling?

Senate Debt Deal Weakens Congress on Debt Ceiling

When dealing with Libs there's usually a gotcha.

Just waiting to confirm if the real gotcha is a provision that reduces Congress power to control the debt limit.
The plan includes a proposal offered by McConnell in the 2011 debt ceiling crisis that allows Congress to disapprove of the debt ceiling increase, which means lawmakers will formally vote on whether to reject a debt ceiling increase until Feb. 7. Obama can veto that legislation if it passes. If Congress fails as expected to gather a two-thirds majority to override the veto, the debt ceiling would be raised.
There is some statement like, "The Devil is in the Details!"
 Of course in this case, The Devil is the Libs.
