Now lets see what the 14th amendment says since Tiny Tim the Tax Cheat quoted just a Tiny Tim little piece of it and ignored the rest...
“4. 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.”
That is the Tiny Tim part Tiny Tim the Tax Cheat quoted..but there is a problem you see. The rest totally destroys Tiny Tim the Tax Cheats argument-the rest reads..
“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.”
Now Tiny Tim the Tax Cheat seems to have forgot article 5 where it ends by..
“5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”
Care to explain this to us Tiny Tim the Tax Cheat? You crooked slimy little twerp!
What does it take to impeach this whole administration? They can commit fraud, theft, obstruction of justice, and about anything you and I can think of and its OK with the National socialists democrat party. And the GOP is to GD cowardly to stand up and face them. So, I guess it goes to the citizens per the tenth since the states are also chicken shit to do anything.

Exactly. Even if this interpretation of Section 4 of the 14th Amendment is correct, Section 5 makes it clear that the President can not unilaterally implement this interpretation. He must either get the courts to rule in his favor or get the Congress to raise the debt limit.
The words "authorized by law" contained in Article 4 clearly establishes congress' role in setting a debt limit. Anyone foolish enough to buy debt issued above the limit authorized by law, even if the president tries to do so, would be running the real risk of loosing their investment.
