共和党掌控的众议院通过了无条件提高联邦政府债务上限的法案。据NPR新闻的艾迪斯·查品报道，这就是奥巴马总统一直坚持而众议院共和党一直反对的事项。

Boehner, nonetheless blamed Obama for refusing his offereing sessions in return for increasing the nation's borrowing authority to avoid the default.
众议院议长约翰·博纳近几年一直坚持要提高债务上限就必须缩减联邦开支，他称这为“博纳规则”。但是他因为无法找到一项在众议院投票中获得多数共和党人支持的措施，而放弃了这种方法。尽管如此，博纳还是指责了奥巴马，称他为了达到避免债务违约而增加举债权限的目的而拒绝协商。
"So president is driving up the debt and the president wanting to do nothing about the debt that's occurring, or not engaged in our long-term _4_ problem, and so let his party give him the debt ceiling increase that he wants."
“总统要增加债务，但是总统并不关心所发生的债务问题，也不想参与到我们的长期开支问题中，所以就让他的政党给予他想要的提高债务上限吧。”
