President Joe Biden’s plans to deliver widespread student debt relief were dealt a serious blow last year when the Supreme Court struck down his one-time student loan forgiveness program. But he has still managed to cancel more federal student loan debt than any other president.
You mean exactly what they’re doing? It’s mostly a job for Whitehouse lawyers now, deciding just how much they can get through (each time they chip away) without ending up in from of judges again. That’s why every few weeks there another segment of cancellations happening.
No, nothing at all like what they’re doing here, what I’m talking about is completely separate from these individualized cases. We need universal student debt relief that addresses everyone who was victimized by this predatory system. The vast majority are not getting any help and there’s no indication the Biden administration is doing anything about that problem.
The executive can’t make laws + the court says a law has to me made = Biden can’t do that.
This is day 1 civics class stuff.
Issuing an executive order isn’t a law + the court hasn’t considered other arguments the administration could and should make = Biden isn’t even trying
Guess that’s day two civics class stuff
e; better phrasing
Issuing an executive order also isn’t effective
Wow, I missed the supreme Court case or legislation that stripped the president of the power to issue executive orders, surely you’ve got a link to that momentous development?
e; actually, I think that would take a constitutional amendment
That’s not what “effective” means.
