No that gets it completely backwards.

The president doesn't get to choose to invoke the Constitution. The Constitution requires presidents to pay the bills. There is no if. If the president were to decline to pay debts then he would stand for impeachment immediately.

All of these people talking about invoking the 14th Amendment, no there is no invoking. The president has to pay debts. It's not like there's a choice.

The Treasury brings in enough money to pay for those debts. According to the daily treasury balance sheet they have the money regardless of the debt ceiling.

There is just so much political misinformation out there. We really need to push back against it.
