Original Note:
Sen. Warren's claim that the POTUS has the legal authority to forgive student debt is in contravention of the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, Article I, section 9, clause 7 give Congress the "Power of the Purse." No such power is given to POTUS in any Article. https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript
