Nowhere in the Constitution is the President given such authority but have a good time looking!

The president could issue an Executive Order as he's supposed to execute the instructions of the Congress and also to ensure that the laws are "faithfully" executed... So he could order that all money keep flowing so that the lawful spending bill be adhered to in order to meet the requirements of the 14th amendment of the constitution.
Of course that would mean that the debt ceiling law be "ignored" so the shit would hit the fan.. But then again, it seems ridiculous that congress would pass a debt ceiling bill that makes it so that their very own spending bill can't be adhered to in the first place. It's one big cluster fuck...
