Executive action can be used only when it has been specifically authorized by Congress. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/bidens-student-loan-forgiveness-plan-is-unlawful-judge-rules https://thecollegeinvestor.com/35892/is-student-loan-forgiveness-by-executive-order-legal/ Nancy Pelosi said the same about forgiveness: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pelosi-power-debt-forgiveness/
