Senate Dem leaders privately inform Obama they fully support unilateral exec action on debt limit

4. The 14th Amendment is my preferred remedy should Republicans hold America hostage

First, I would say that the debt ceiling act is unconstitutional.

Independent of that, if the Republicans threaten to or actually not
raise the debt ceiling, then the President of the United States, President
Obama *must* act to prevent the economic destruction of the USA. And citing
the 14th Amendment is exactly the reason why 1) the debt ceiling is illegal and
2) what Obama can use to basically tell the Republicans to pound sand.

Imagine if our House was infiltrated by say the Chinese or Russians or whoever
operatives whose sole missions was to destroy America's financial structure. A
President *Must* prevent it.

Use the 14th.

The Coin only solves the problem temporarily. The concept of the debt ceiling is
unconstitutional. The real fix is to repeal the Debt Ceiling Act altogether.
