1. debt ceiling

   A debt ceiling is a legislative limit or cap on the amount of national debt that can be issued or incurred by a country's treasury or central government. It restricts the ability of the government to finance its operations through borrowing and, once reached, requires legislative action to be increased. Any failure to increase the debt ceiling does not lead to default immediately, but could eventually if borrowing is necessary and not approved. This term is commonly associated with the U.S. where Congress needs to approve the increase on federal borrowing limit.
