Article I, Section 8, clause 1;
That is a legislative power of Congress, not a power of the President. Congress can authorize the President to issue debt up to a certain amount, but the President cannot go beyond that amount(the debt ceiling) without usurping power from Congress.

what school did those go to, don’t they teach the laws of the land in HARVARD ?

the laws.
When it comes to overstepping authority, that falls right in with this administration’s modus operandus.
