Six Republican-led states are suing the Biden administration for overstepping executive powers related to President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, the Daily Caller website reports today (September 30, 2022).
The Biden administration unveiled its plan to partially forgive student loans for certain borrowers in August, using HEROES Act 2003 as a precedent for the decision and arguing that the COVID-19 pandemic created an emergency situation allowing the federal government to forgive student debt.
The Republican states argued that the Biden administration exceeded its statutory authority, as well as citing interviews in which Biden said the pandemic was "over" as evidence that the pandemic could not be used to justify the action.
