1. i'm not sure they would push it
as I see it, Obama's using the 14th Amendment would mean that he continues to pay our debts and ignores the debt ceiling. The alternative would be to default. And so the action that the GOP would take in response to that would be to get a court to stop Obama from paying the debts, and force him to default. They would have to FIGHT in court to force the country into default. Not an easy thing to do, imo.
