Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Call their bluff, speak in prime time about what those bastards are trying to pull, and at the last minute, invoke the 14th amendment for the good of the nation and tell the GOP to go to hell for trying to destroy it from within.
Then face impeachment. I guarantee if they remove him, they will not like President Biden and they won't win in 2012, 2016, and for a very long time thereafter.
