Successfully using the 14th would depend heavily on the president and the treasury secretary believing (publicly at least) in the legality of their actions. From there the burden would be on the court to show otherwise.
As the situation stands every blowhard in the media will be using the administration's own words against them if a 14th amendment strategy is used.
I'd love to see Obama do this but how does he walk it back now?
