arizona1: IMO President Obama should go far it. It puts the monkey on the Republicans back. Do they really want to push a "financial crisis" and have to answer to Wall Street. IMO no. They lie to the public but Wall Street is a different monkey.

The section with the 14th Amendment will read "This page left intentiona­lly blank."

Section 4 of the 14th Amendment is clearly referring to debts incurred while putting down a rebellion. It reads:

Section 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. 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.
