Deputy Treasury Secretary confirms: Biden won't use 14th Amendment.
President Joe Biden will not invoke the 14th Amendment to circumvent debt ceiling negotiations, according to Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo. The White House sees a bipartisan deal as the only option to the current standoff, and Biden has cast doubt on the amendment as workable. Adeyemo said that ultimately, Congress raising the debt limit is the only solution to meet the commitments made to creditors, seniors, veterans, and the American people.
