Student debt divide - Indo-Pacific alliance - Recovering stolen artifacts

[Senate Majority Leader Schumer] and Sen. Elizabeth Warren are the two congressional Democrats leading the call for Biden to cancel $50,000 in student loan debt per borrower. They claim that Biden can use his "existing authority" under the Higher Education Act to "immediately" wipe out debt for millions of borrowers across the country. The pair re-upped their demands on Tuesday.

[House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi] said a press briefing that student loan debt is "a policy discussion" and that cancelation has to be "an act of Congress." "People think that the president of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not," Pelosi said. "He can postpone, he can delay, but he does not have the power."

The White House has asked the Justice Department and Education Department to review whether Biden has the ability to cancel student loan debt via executive action. But neither the White House nor the departments have provided an update on that assessment.
