I have bought about 15 CDs this past year from Schwab, that were non-callable, but I did not buy anything longer than 2 years. I just went on Schwab, and looked at their 3, 4, and 5 year CDs and it appears to be primarily non-callable CDs on their menu of offerings. I have no interest in callable CDs, have no intention of buying a callable CD in the future, so apparently I am not facing the same dilemma you are describing. Good luck!All of them are callable except some of the shorter term ones. Non-callable CDs tend to have much lower yields.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2001-01-09-0101090053-story.htmlWhen banks and brokerages began hawking callable CDs in the mid-1990s, interest rates were generally headed down, which meant that many issuing banks did indeed call their CDs after the first year.
Regarding the breadth of Section 4 of the 14th Amendment, it is worth reading the entire two sentences:the Court would sustain delegations whenever Congress provided an intelligible principle [like a borrowing limit?] to which the President or an agency must conform.
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-14/section-4/The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/02/us/politics/debt-limit-14th-amendment.htmlThat section, historians say, was added because of fears that if former Confederate states were to regain political power in Congress, lawmakers might repudiate federal debts and guarantee Confederate debt.
Perry v. United States, 294 U.S. 330 (1935)We regard [the Fourteenth Amendment, in its fourth section] as confirmatory of a fundamental principle, which applies as well to the government bonds in question, and to others duly authorized by the Congress, as to those issued before the Amendment was adopted. Nor can we perceive any reason for not considering the expression "the validity of the public debt" as embracing whatever concerns the integrity of the public obligations.
Yeah, Andy's right here. That BS 60-vote threshold * needs to go, b/c it essentially paralyzes the Senate. Heck, right now they probably can't even get 60 votes to name a post office!!!
I haven't been able to find a clear article on what exactly happened, but one thing is clear: the House wouldn't have been the problem. If there was a legislative block, it was in the Senate. Dems couldn't have passed it on their own; it takes 60 votes to limit debate and bring a bill to an actual vote.
They might have used reconciliation to pass it with just D votes, but it would have taken 100% approval from the 50 D and independent/D-voting senators. Manchin and Sinema, especially Manchin, may have kiboshed it if a discussion went that far. His vote was difficult for Dems to corral all through the last Congress.

Especially, in early November, after the Democrats lost their comfortable majority of the House, they should have made this issue a top priority in the remaining two months of the legislative session. After all, it was well known what the Republican strategy would be. What am I missing?
