14th Amendment
President Joe Biden and top congressional leadership will meet again on Friday after they emerged from their hour-long meeting in the Oval Office on Tuesday with little to show that they're moving toward a deal to raise the debt ceiling and avoid a default that would have catastrophic economic consequences.
House Republicans want to attach spending reductions to a debt ceiling increase and have passed a debt limit plan that does just that. But Biden and congressional Democrats have insisted on passing a clean increase on the debt limit before addressing a framework for spending.
While leaders in the meeting indicated it wasn't discussed in the Oval Office, president told reporters that he is considering whether to invoke the 14th Amendment to declare the debt limit unconstitutional after Washington resolves the current debt limit issue. He suggested that litigation may take too long to make a difference in current negotiations.

Former President Donald Trump, here in 2022, will take part in a CNN town hall event in New Hampshire Wednesday evening.
Trump town hall
Former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign is pursuing a strategy of expanding his appeal by reaching out to audiences beyond friendly conservative media outlets, multiple advisers familiar with the strategy said, including a CNN town hall this week.
The town hall event in New Hampshire Wednesday evening, Trump's first appearance on CNN since the 2016 election, joins a list of other signs that Trump is adopting a more traditional campaign in his third run for the White House.
The former president has surrounded himself with a more organized, experienced team to complement his unconventional campaign style. He's also scaling back larger rallies, a Trump campaign trademark, for more intimate campaign settings and retail stops that allow the former president to engage with voters.
