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." https://thecollegeinvestor.com/35892/is-student-loan-forgiveness-by-executive-order-legal/#:~:text=Disaster%20Relief%20Payment%3F-,Can%20The%20President%20Cancel%20All%20Federal%20Student%20Loans%3F,been%20specifically%20authorized%20by%20Congress. Claims that POTUS has the authority to forgive student loans are based on a misreading of the Higher Education Act of 1965 at 20 USC 1082(a)(6).
