That gets the picture backwards, though.

The 14th is about spending money, saying the president must service the debt. If anything it's about *retiring* debt, not creating more.

Biden has no way of raising the debt ceiling since that's a legislative process. He does have a way to order the Treasury to take on debt without authorization from Congress, but that would be impeachable since the Constitution is clear that such authority is in the legislative branch.
