Ed Schultz Said Last Night That Truman Used the 14th Amendment
That Obama wouldn't even be the first President to do so.

I thought he would follow up on that but he just made the statement and moved on.

Anybody know if this is correct?

5. Okay thanks
I'm confused as to whether Truman did it in some other context or specifically to raise the debt ceiling.
