Fourteenth Amendment  Equal Protection and Other Rights

    Section 4 Public Debt

    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.

I have seen a few people here site the 14th amendment as a way work around congresses absolute authority to hold the purse strings of the US.  The founding fathers did not want the president to have the ability to unilaterally fund whatever and do whatever he wanted...

This section was added in to assist the president, at the time, in reconstruction.  The president seeded a wide range of options to help reconstruct and bring the nation back from where the civil war left us.  Now everyone should remember that it was the southern Democrats that wanted to secede from the union to keep their slaves... having said this...

Why do the left, or the left who read this echo, ignore this...

"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."

What does this mean??  Simple, the debt that was accumulated by the Confederates note the "insurrection or rebellion against the United States" part... then the "all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void." part... 

Congress gave the ability to rebuild the country, and take care of business, while not taking on the debt of southern Democrats, AKA the Confederates. 

The section of this amendment was not pout in the constitution so that Joe Biden could print money to pay for gender affirming car. 

I happen to listen to a video on this topic from a constitutional expert.  Mark Levin.  This is a Fox News video but he also can be seen on Blaze TV and Levin TV.  I know that it 13 minutes long, but it's worth the view.
