Original Note:
This is misleading. US Representatives are Constitutionally required to pay the debts of the federal government under Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2. Voting on raising the debt ceiling is the means by which Congress pays debts and does its Constitutional duty. https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript
