WASHINGTON, May 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden
said on Tuesday he is considering invoking the Fourteenth
Amendment of the U.S. Constitution even as he continues talks to
end a deadlock on the debt limit, but that doing so would
require litigation.
"When we get by this, I'm thinking about taking a look at
months down the road to see what the court would say," Biden
told reporters. "I have been considering the 14th amendment."
But, he added, "it would have to be litigated."
