Again, that's all just conspiracy nonsense. Yes, there are old laws. No, they don't effect macroeconomic policy and to claim they do is silly. This is of a piece with the Trillion Dollar Coin nonsense[1] being hawked in equally silly circles on the other side of the aisle.
Real world economic policy works by virtue of steady hands and rigorously applied norms, not goofball trickery around edge cases of ancient laws.
[1] The idea that the Treasury's statutory authority to mint coinage could be exploited to mint a single illiquid-by-virtue-of-size asset that could then be borrowed against without increasing the debt ceiling.
