Missouri's Attorney General will head to the U.S. Supreme Court to oppose Biden's illegal student debt handout plan.
Andrew Bailey is 44th Attorney General of Missouri.
There’s no such thing as "canceling a debt." The debt’s weight is just shifted. In this case, it’s thrust on the backs of the American taxpayers, who had no say in taking on that debt. But that won’t stop Joe Biden and his Administration. They pushed through an unconstitutional loan forgiveness plan - knowing full well they didn’t have the necessary authority from Congress. In 2021, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi agreed, saying, "The president can’t do it… It would take an act of Congress, not an executive order, to cancel student loan debt."
The Constitution clearly states that Congress has the power of the purse. The executive branch cannot unilaterally wipe away hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt – debts American taxpayers have funded with the expectation the debts would be repaid – without express approval by Congress. Since Congress has not passed any law wiping student loan debt off the books, Biden’s action is illegal on its face.
