But legal scholars are throwing a flag on the play by the White House, telling Fox News Digital Biden is "stretching laws to the breaking point in order to assume a power expressly given to Congress" and that the legal basis for the president’s student loan handout maneuver is thin.
"President Biden is something of a constitutional recidivist when it comes to executive overreach," Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University and practicing criminal defense attorney, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "He has been repeatedly found to have violated the Constitution in his unilateral use of executive powers."
