Original Note:
This is factually wrong. The US Constitution grants power to Congress to borrow money (Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2). It is the Constitutional responsibility of Congress, not POTUS, to pay bills. Raising the debt ceiling is the means by which Congress pays debts. https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript
