Re: Lawful Money?
In Response To: Lawful Money? ()

for enough of those greenbacks, Congress will vote in your favor. What more do you want? Chickens and wheat???

As for the definition of money, article 1 section 8 grants Congress the power to "coin Money," so the right of redemption would likely be the right to redeem for coinage. You don't want to look too far, because if the paper is worthless then the coins probably are, too.
