Original Note:
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. 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/
