and it has been said President Obama doesn't have the authority to raise the debt limit on his own, under the 14th amendment.

Couldn't it be argued, however, since the Constitution via the 14th ammendment does say that the debt of the United States validity cannont be questioned," that Congress along with the President has a duty to ensure it is not questioned?

The Pukes swore an oath of office to uphold the constitution but if they allow the debt ceiling to expire and let us default, then aren't they very much calling its validity into question and therefore in violation of the 14th amendment?

So aren't they at the very least violating their oath of office?

Maybe the President and other Dems cannot take action but could citizens pettion the courts some how for redress?

I am a history and Poli Sci major and also took some para legal courses but my memory is not what it was and this is new territory so I could be way off.

And if they were just legistating something we disagreed with I wouldn't object to their behavior but what they are potentially doing could devestate the country economically for years, that's different than just venting over legislative differences.
