Some experts believe that using the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling would be unconstitutional.

From Daily Caller. Legal experts and GOP lawmakers are warning of severe consequences, including impeachment and a sovereign debt default, should President Joe Biden invoke the 14th Amendment to unilaterally raise the U.S. debt ceiling.

The 14th Amendment of the Constitution says, “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.” Added to the Constitution after the Civil War, Biden has suggested that its text may enable him to pay existing U.S. debts by borrowing more money to do so, even without Congressional authorization. …

“The president cannot unilaterally do this unless he wants to risk an impeachable offense,” said Richard Epstein, the Laurence A. Tisch professor of law at New York University, adding that Biden’s legal case “doesn’t have a prayer in hell of standing.” Epstein explained that the phrase “authorized by law” in the 14th Amendment means that any debt to be issued requires the approval of Congress, which has the sole power to make laws under the Constitution, adding that one must “read the whole sentence” to understand the clause.

He was joined by Andrew McCarthy of National Review Institute, who told the DCNF that “[t]he president is sworn to uphold the Constitution and execute the laws — including the statutory debt ceiling — faithfully. The failure to do these things is obviously impeachable.” …

Other legal scholars, such as Jonathan Turley of The George Washington University, and lawmakers such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have also warned Biden against such a move, with McConnell saying that it was “not an option”. …

Lord have mercy on our souls and stop the default of our nation’s economy. Stop the Biden Administration from furthering their socialist, communist agenda to feed the ravaneous appetite of these self-enriching, self-serving, narcissistic bureaurecrats!!! Lord stomp the head of the serpent. I rebuke the devourer in Jesus Name. Amen and Amen. God please protect the U.S. economy and take it away from these satanists who want to destroy us. Put them out of office and replace them with Christian Patriots.

I pray that this will reach people the people who need to be reached.
The debt ceiling is designed to be raised up since the COVID.
The part of the establishment’s plan is working for Globalists like JP Morgan, and other major financial institutions.
They practically own our federal reserve system.

They make money when the Americans have debt.
Hence this is a cycling of poor economy/recession, stimulus checks/war, inflation, and debts.

this is how the politicians are bought ( on both sides) to start a war, or something to spend tax payers’ dollars.

I may not be putting this eloquently but this has been the case throughout the history that Rothschilds have caused to possess the national asset.

God is calling us to repent and turn your eyes on Him.
Holy Spirit is praying for this country, sins of our fathers, and church leaders.

Danger danger danger. How would default be much different than what Biden is already doing to the world? Just speed it up a little.
Pray that Republicans be not blamed. Pray harder.
