After getting a bit of a video lesson in the 14th. That option is not even close to being viable and Bambi knows it.
It was a civil war amendment to keep the union not responsible for confederate debts incurred.
I agree with what you say on the 14th amendment. But Obama and his White House stafdf do not see the constitution that you and I see. They see a living constitution, and Obama might just have enough clout with his 2 new appointees at the Supreme Court to pull it off.
