They Just Told Biden He Doesn’t Have Authority To Keep ANY Promises!

Joe Biden is a blundering fool and has shown that to the American people time and time again.

However, thanks to the media, they have done an excellent job in ensuring that people seem to forget Biden’s inadequacies as a leader.

Thankfully, there are people waking up to how inept Biden is as a leader and are beginning to say something about it.

Over the last two years, Biden has been telling the liberal base that he would be canceling student loan debts. This promise has puzzled those who understand not only economics but the basic structure of government officials.

What authority does Biden have to make such a sweeping declaration?

How can Biden say that those debts would be forgiven the more important question is, where do they go?

Well, according to Obama’s former lawyer, Biden lacks the “authority” to cancel student debt.

Just as we all thought, right?

Washington Free Beacon reported:

Joe Biden lacks the authority to execute his plan to have the government take on hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt, top Obama administration education lawyer Charles Rose warned on Wednesday.

Rose, who served as the Education Department’s general counsel from 2009 to 2011, wrote in a memo for his law firm that “the Executive Branch likely does not have the unilateral authority to engage in mass student debt cancellation,” the Wall Street Journal reported. Rose said that if Biden enacts the plan, courts will likely overturn it.

Biden said last week that he is considering mass student debt cancellation. The White House has not given many details about its plan. However, the president has said that any cancellation would be less than the $50,000 sought by some Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), and “Squad” member Ayanna Pressley (Mass.).

The Journal wrote that the president is “more comfortable with debt cancellation in the range of $10,000,” the Journal wrote.

Canceling $10,000 in loans per borrower would put the federal government $245 billion deeper in debt, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget found. Canceling $50,000 would put the government nearly $1 trillion deeper in debt.

Experts say student loan cancellation would benefit the wealthiest students “while leaving behind, or perhaps even draining from, the neediest,” the Washington Free Beacon reported. The top 40 percent of wage earners carry more than half of all student loan debt.

Rose’s worries about the legality of cancellation are strikingly similar to Biden’s concerns last year.

“I don’t think I have the authority to do it by signing with a pen,” the president said at a CNN town hall.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) has made similar arguments.

“People think the president of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness,” Pelosi said last July. “He does not.”

It’s just more pointless political bluster.

He wants people talking about how he plans to cancel student debt while everyone’s up in arms over the Roe v Wade SCOTUS leak, it could get base back on his side for a while… at least through midterms.

Joe will drag this out until after midterms when he’ll announce that it can’t be done.

He’s hoping he can fool enough young people who will get back on board and support him and the Dems in 2022.
