For those of you keeping track at home, this is the second time in two days Clyburn has urged Obama to invoke the 14th Amendment.

(Politico) — Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) cited major civil rights victories as examples of successful presidential executive orders as evidence President Barack Obama should invoke the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling if Congress fails to do so.

“He could do that [an executive order] with a stroke of a pen. We have seen many big things done in history that way,” Clyburn said on MSNBC’s “Jansing & Co.” “I was joking to my staff the other day: ‘Tell me the bill number for the Emancipation Proclamation.’ It was an executive order. We integrated the armed services by executive order. We integrated the public schools by executive order. Sometimes executives must order that things get done.”

Clyburn added, “If the president gets up to Aug. 2 without a piece of legislation, he shoud not allow this country to go into default. He should sign an executive order invoking the 14th Amendment and send that to all the governmental agencies for us to continue to pay our bills.”

Obama administration officials, and the president himself, have said they will not invoke the 14th Amendment. And Clyburn’s remarks came after some tea party Republicans, in particular Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), said Obama should be impeached if he were to use the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling.
