According to the Treasury's monthly reports, it absolutely DOES have the revenue and credit to pay all of its debts and obligations.
Again, I can pull up the report in the morning, or you can pull it up yourself from the Treasury's website.
The Treasury might not have the authority to borrow a bunch more money to fund future obligations that have been authorized by Congress, but it does have the money to service its debts as they stand.
By its own numbers the Treasury is in no danger of defaulting on its obligations. It should not obligate itself into the situation where it might be, but if the president wants to go that direction, he can, and he stands to be impeached over it.
