Authors of the Law Biden Used to Wipe Out Student Debt Declare He Doesn’t Have the Authority

The legislators who wrote the HEROES Act, the law that the Biden administration claims gives it broad authority to forgive student loans, have filed a brief with the Supreme Court — declaring in unmistakable terms that the act does not, in fact, give the Biden administration broad authority to forgive student loans.

The HEROES Act was intended to be a limited response in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the former lawmakers said. The brief says that they “write separately to make clear that Congress never intended anything like the loan cancellation effort underway here.”
