“What does the 14 Amendment have to do with Obama?”

14th amendment makes him more equal than the rest of us.

I am appalled at all the idiots in Congress who actually believe that its ok for the president to become dictator.

Not only ok, but constitutional !

Section 4.
“What does the 14 Amendment have to do with Obama?”

Section 4 of the 14th Amendment:
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.

Section 4 related to payment of public debt after the civil war, requiring the honoring of debts incurred by the Union and prohibiting payment of debts incurred by the Confederacy. Any judicial entity who would use this as justification for obama to usurp clear legislative prerogatives and powers in a totally unrelated context would instantly risk being impeached herself and brought to justice.

These gibbering shysters like Rosen, are merely enjoying their obama masturbation fantasies about how the scotus would vote.

Removing the 14th Amendment gives him the power of a tyrant. Rending the Congress useless and the people powerless.
