US Constitution

There has been some discussion about the 14th amendment as justification for ignoring the debt limit.  I have looked this over and I can't see anywhere in the Constitution where the President has the right and the power to ignore the law, or any law.  I can't see anywhere where the President can issue debt or any such power that would resemble it.  My opinion over the section in question, Section 4 of the amendment, is related to Civil War debts and has no bearing on current conditions.  In other words, it is a flimsy pretext for ignoring the law.
