No. In the U.S., the Constitution places all authority for borrowing and spending in the hands of Congress. The Constitution does not place a limit on the amount that the country may borrow. Because it was inconvenient for Congress to get involved every time the Treasury needed to issue a security, Congress passed a law in 1917 which allows the Executive Branch, specifically the U.S. Treasury, to borrow money as necessary, provided that the total amount borrowed remains within a limit set by Congress. Currently (July 2011), that limit is set at $14.3 trillion.
