In the U.S., the Constitution places all authority for borrowing and spending in the hands of Congress. In 1917, Congress passed a law 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. The Treasury is saying that they will need to borrow more than that within a few weeks.
