He can; but, he will face immediate impeachement proceedings if he does.
Honestly Obama wants to use it and thus the reason behind the hysteria he has trying to create as he shouts fire repeatedly at Theater Kabuchi. It is actually not from the 14th Amendment where he would gain his power but in the Executive Orders put in place by administrations preceeding this one.
