President Obama should invoke the 14th Amendment to hike the debt ceiling unilaterally as a last resort to prevent a government default, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Thursday.
"It's arguably his power to do so," Hoyer told MSNBC.
"Very frankly, if it came down to his looking default in the eye on Tuesday or taking this action, as President Clinton said, better to take the action and find out later that perhaps he went beyond his authority but at least protected the credibility of the United States of America," he said.
The remarks align Hoyer with a number of other House Democratic leaders, who are urging Obama to invoke the Constitution to prevent a government default if Congress fails to raise the debt limit before an Aug. 2 deadline.

Then we can impeach his ash. Or if Congress won't, it's torches and pitchforks time.
Barack Hussein Obama a.k.a. Barry Soetoro is a criminal. He knows he is a fraud, and so do many others. This man will stop at nothing. He is evil to the core. He will bring this country to collapse. Everything he’s done is illegal; his czars, Obamacare, waivers to his financial donors, his illegal war in Libya, his illegal gun running in Mexico, etc, and now he wants to claim Constitutional power that he does not have.
The so-called “looney” Birthers do have a legitimate concern, but they have been dismissed and derided. This crook, Barry Soetoro was allowed to be sworn in and to occupy the White House without the eligibility issue having fair and open discussion, so here we are.
Since everyone is talking about using this power or that power of the Constitution to further their political gain. Why not discuss the Constitutionality of Obama’s citizenship. According to the Supreme Court Case MINOR Vs. HAPPERSETT 88 U.S.162 (1875) a Natural-Born Citizen is defined as being born on the soil of the U.S. of two parents born on U.S. soil. The “Natural-Born Citizen” question is not going away. We should have addressed it openly and honestly BEFORE Obama was allowed to be sworn in. But here we are. That demonic criminal is taking this nation down and nobody in Washington is going to do anything to stop him.
