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.
What is the name for the president's right to refuse to testify before or provided information to Congress or a court?

Therefore, for a President to not appear and testify before Congress would be a failure to execute his duties and a violation of the Separation of Powers rule.
