[quote=The-Shoveler]Section 4 of the Fourteenth Amendment gives the president the power to bypass Congress and raise the debt ceiling by executive order.[/quote]
I don’t think that is quite accurate. The Wiki (such as Wikipedia is) quote is:
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.
It doesn’t mention anything about funding/paying the debt. It just goes to validity and about not reimbursing insurrection against the US.
