- Given the troubles Johnson went through to become speaker, many believe there will be upcoming fights over the budget, debt ceiling, and government shutdowns.
- President Trump can get around this by "minting the coin" (see above link - TL;DR, he has the authority to tell the mint to strike a platinum coin of arbitrary value to overcome limits).
- Will President Trump ever mint the coin (or coins) during his administration? This resolves YES if/when two conditions are both fulfilled:
- Such a platinum coin(s) is/are minted
- Trump is president at the time (or was at the time the order to mint the coin was given)
