Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) want President
Joe Biden to forgive $50,000 in federal student loans per borrower.
They claim that he can do this unilaterally through executive order.
President
Biden has promised to forgive $10,000 in student loan debt per
borrower, but wants Congress to pass legislation to implement it. The
$1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief plan proposed by President Biden does not
include any student loan forgiveness. ......
Can The President Cancel All Federal Student Loans?
The President does not have the legal authority to forgive student loans on his own. Only Congress has the power of the purse. Executive action can be used only when it has been specifically authorized by Congress."
