There's a significant difference: one doesn't violate the 14th Amendment.  Of course, I'm not sure how relevant that is anymore, with Presidents who think they can violate the 4th, 5th, or 8th Amendments any time they want, or ignore laws that they sign just by writing a signing statement saying they're going to ignore them.  The Constitution may have little significance in a very short time, as we become more and more dependent on no more than the good will of the man in the Oval Office.
