The only  legally valid answer is if another law (besides 34CFR685.219) gives them a grant of authority: Thus their own actions, here, speak louder than words, and thus the Dept of Ed admits that the 1965HEA does, indeed, grant them plenary and full authority to do what this memo, here, is claiming: The only  legal way that DOE could expand PSLF beyond the limits of 34CFR685.219 is if 1965HEA, or similar, grants them such  broad authority: Obviously, it does, thus also permitting said  broad cancellation.

These credentials, and others, suggest that Mr. Watts is not only a  far-right Conservative (several orders of magnitude to the  right of the late Rush Limbaugh), but also a heavyweight legal scholar, and, thus, any analyses which he might have to the student debt issue might be objective and useful legal analyses. Since he is a  Conservative (on both fiscal and moral grounds), Watts has no  political or  religious motives to lobby  for student loan cancellation/forgiveness or Executive Order collegiate loan cancellation by President Biden and, in fact, takes a  neutral view on what  should be done in this limited area of  Jubilee debt cancellation/forgiveness as it would solve a symptom, but avoid addressing underlying causes of American Higher Education's colossal failures in the area of lending and financing college. This paper addresses only the  legal aspects, not political, moral, or practical; see other works by Watts for policy and legislation recommendations to address the social and economic problems in higher education. CONFLICT OF INTERESTS: In case it is overlooked elsewhere, Mr. Watts is good friends with Alan Collinge (of  Student Loan Justice fame, and who has the current  Million Signature petition at  HYPERLINK "https://Change.org/CancelStudentLoans" \n _blankhttps://Change.org/CancelStudentLoans seeking to cancel all federally-held student debt by Executive Order). Watts is currently Alan's FLORIDA STATE chapter leader[2], which is a salient point because this may appear to be a  conflict of interest in favour of  Liberal views on this topic, and also pointed out so that Alan may give him a character reference. Watts declares a massive student debt ($68,289.93, as of the  Thu, Mar 5, 2020 5:53 pm email from SallieMae[3], and probably more now), but claims no conflict of interest: As he is a rare person who is so poor that IBR (Income-based repayment) takes no money (he has such low income that his discretionary income is zero, setting monthly payments to zero), he is not harmed, and effectively has his loan  paid in full, as just a matter of time. Thus, no  conflict of interest or  motive exists for Watts to seek any  Liberal Free Handout, free college, loan cancellation,  or advocate for President Biden's ability to cancel student debt via Executive Order: In fact, if Mr. Watts keep  rocking the boat, like this, his IBR protection may evaporate like the morning mist in the hot noon sun  not unlike how his right to bankruptcy in his existing loan contact was illegally removed (violating and impairing an existing contract) with the 1998 change in law[10] removing bankruptcy defense from most collegiate loans. Thus, if any conflict of interest existed, it would be for Watts to be as silent as a church mouse and stop rocking the boat. NOTE: Part of the reasons Watts is poor (and easily qualifies for IBR) is due to taking time off from higher paying jobs so that he can spend time with his volunteer advocacy project, Contract With America: Part II(TM), lobbying Federal Lawmakers to stop toxic  Liberal excesses in taxing and spending thus avoid a crash of the dollar and the  GRID. WATTS'S LEGAL MEMO FOLLOWS: Recently, I noticed an article,  Is Student Loan Forgiveness By Executive Order Legal?, by Mark Kantrowitz, THE COLLEGE INVESTOR, Publisher/Founder: Robert Farrington; Updated: August 11, 2021, LINK:  HYPERLINK "https://TheCollegeInvestor.com/35892/is-student-loan-forgiveness-by-executive-order-legal" \n _blankhttps://TheCollegeInvestor.com/35892/is-student-loan-forgiveness-by-executive-order-legal Archive-1:  HYPERLINK "https://archive.vn/VrGBJ" \n _blankhttps://archive.vn/VrGBJ *** Cf:  HYPERLINK "https://TheCollegeInvestor.com/about/" \n _blankhttps://TheCollegeInvestor.com/about/ Archive-2:  HYPERLINK "https://web.archive.org/web/20220105070938/https://thecollegeinvestor.com/35892/is-student-loan-forgiveness-by-executive-order-legal/" \n _blankhttps://web.archive.org/web/20220105070938/https://thecollegeinvestor.com/35892/is-student-loan-forgiveness-by-executive-order-legal/ *** Cf:  HYPERLINK "https://TheCollegeInvestor.com/our-team/" \n _blankhttps://TheCollegeInvestor.com/our-team/ My prior legal analysis[8] of the situation came to the conclusion that  whether it's sound economic policy or otherwise fair/moral  nonetheless, The President does, indeed, have the legal authority to cancel all existing federally-held student debt (but not private student debt), as permitted under the 1965 HEA. Additionally, six of eight notable legal memos[9] came to this same conclusion the conclusion that the president is, indeed, able, under Executive Order authority, to cancel all federally-held student debt, but I will cite to all relevant papers, here  to be fair and hear all views  even if some disagree with me. I had not planned on revisiting this issue, thinking that prior legal analyses were sound and complete in their treatment of this topic, but, Dr. Mark Kantrowitz, a world-renowned expert, says otherwise, so I'll revisit the issue. ( Forgiveness is an incorrect term, as it implies  sin on the part of victims of predatory lending, illegal monopoly, illegal price-gouging, deceptive lending, illegal change in existing loan contract terms, etc.  Cancellation is a more accurate and precise term.) Editorial Note: There is an accidental typo in Mark's article, citing to the wrong Article in Sec. I of US Constitution, and I need to contact publisher about this; Mark cites to Art.I, Sec.7, but clearly, reference to the APPROPRIATIONS CLAUSE means Sec.9, not Sec.7. Moreover, his website states that:  Mark is ABD [e.g., 'all but dissertation'] on a PhD in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), meaning he does not, technically qualify as a Ph.,D., as indicated at  HYPERLINK "http://www.Kantrowitz.com/kantrowitz/mark.html" \n _blankhttp://www.Kantrowitz.com/kantrowitz/mark.html , but as he's a national/international expert, here, I think he qualifies, and I will respectfully refer to him as  Dr. Kantrowitz, an honourary, but deserved, title. I will add that  either way  Mark is a legendary financial expert  and, on a personal level, I think he is a great person who sincerely cares for students and people in general. While not required for my legal memo, I shall state this up front to assure readers that even if I strongly disagree with Mark, no disrespect is meant. First, Mark says, in salient part, that  Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) want President Joe Biden to forgive $50,000 in federal student loans per borrower. They claim that he can do this unilaterally through executive order. ASSESSMENT: He is correct. Sens. Schumer and Warren did, indeed, make this claim. He also addresses a promise Pres. Biden made regarding forgiveness of $10k and the likelihood of related legislation. ASSESSMENT: This is unrelated to our main question, and I shall pass on addressing this here. This article quotes Mark Kantrowitz as saying:  The executive branch cannot spend money that has not been appropriated by Congress, per 31 USC 1301 et seq (Antideficiency Act (P.L. 97-258)) and Article I, Section 7, Clause 7 of the U.S. Constitution. ASSESSMENT: I will address PayGo, below, but before I do, I notice an egregious typo, above (whether the publisher Robert Farrington, or the writer, Mark Kantrowitz, I know not, but we're all human). Anyhow, ART. I, Sec. 7 has only three clauses, and obviously, Mark is referring to ART. I, Sec. 9, clause 7, the legendary  Appropriations clause, which says:  No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time. I trust they will update their page to fix this typo. Besides this typo, Mark makes a  substance or  factual error in assuming that the Appropriations clause applies: This is incorrect: Since the debt is owned and not guaranteed (discussion below), no appropriations (taxes raised) are needed to cancel federally-held student debt, thus this clause does not apply. When the debt was guaranteed (as it was just decades ago before a provision in the ACA purchased almost all student debt see below), then, yes, appropriations would be needed to pay off the debt, but that is not the case here: The student debt (to colleges) was paid off the very second the loans were taken out as shown below. But, on to the main legal point: The  $64,000.oo Dollar Question aka the  Money Question is asked by Mark here:  Can The President Cancel All Federal Student Loans? [] The President does not have the legal authority to forgive student loans on his own. Only Congress has the power of the purse. Executive action can be used only when it has been specifically authorized by Congress. (Editor's Note: My use of empty double brackets  [] here & elsewhere denote a line-break, which is redacted for style.) ASSESSMENT: His claims that Executive Action can only be used if/when authorised by Congress seem correct, on the face, as a matter of Constitutional Separation of Powers; but, is he correct in his conclusion? ANSWER: As previously reported by this writer,  Here is documented proof of our claims that the Dept of Ed has FEDERAL STATUTORY legal authority, under the 1965 Higher Education Act, to forgive/cancel any/all student debt -- and, of course, not be subject to "PayGo" limitations, which tie lawmakers' hands. Translation: The President could cancel ALL student loan debt without costing ONE PENNY of our taxpayer monies, and without need for ONE DIME of appropriations to raise taxes, and I went on to cite to the U.S. Code in question, by quoting SEC.432(6), which gives the DOE the right to:  pay, compromise, waive or release ANY student debt "however acquired, including any equity or any right or redemption."

This Federal Law vests the Sec of Ed with said authority. Then, we ask,  what authority: He has the authority to  waive or  release (that is, cancel) ANY  right,  claim or  demand, including ANY  equity (that is, any debt),  HOWEVER ACQUIRED. That's  plenary, that is, 100% broad in authority.

This applies when there is no ambiguity in a will. In such a situation, the court should refuse admission of extrinsic evidence to overturn the plain meaning of the Will. The soft plain meaning rule means that the statute is to be interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the language, unless the result would be cruel or absurd. The plain meaning rule requires that words are given their ordinary meaning, technical terms are given their technical meaning, and local, cultural terms are recognized as applicable. Additionally, the plain meaning rule prevents courts from taking sides in legislative or political issues. Source:  Plain Meaning Rule Law and Legal Definition, LINK:  HYPERLINK "https://Definitions.UsLegal.com/p/plain-meaning-rule/" \n _blankhttps://Definitions.UsLegal.com/p/plain-meaning-rule/ OK  this, alone, should settle the matter, but Dr. Mark Kantrowitz, who is very smart, goes on with further criticisms of the  Executive Order theory, so we shall address each one. Dr. Kantrowitz goes on to say:  But that quote is taken out of context. The preamble to that section of the Higher Education Act of 1965 limits this authority to operating within the scope of the statute, and he correctly quotes the preamble, as do I, above:   In the performance of, and with respect to, the functions, powers, and duties, vested in him by this part, the Secretary may " However, here's where his train jumps  off track  he goes on to say:  In other words, when Congress authorizes a loan forgiveness program, such as Public Service Loan Forgiveness, Teacher Loan Forgiveness or the Total and Permanent Disability Discharge, the U.S. Secretary of Education has the authority to forgive student loans as authorized under the terms of these loan forgiveness programs. It is true that these  extra Federal laws have been passed, and he tries to argue that it was these newer laws that granted authority to cancel ( Forgive, as some call it, tho this is not the correct term see above) federally-held student debt; however, were these laws necessary? Of course not: The plain meaning of the original text of the Federal Law is quite clear: In the performance of his already-existing duties, which are vested (empowered or authorised) by this section, the secretary MAY act... not  might act  or  possibly act if/when laws get passed, but he MAY act. Period. That is the plain meaning of the law. A subsequent act by congress can NOT change the previous authority... Remember, folks: Time travel is possible in STAR TREK, but not in real life: If the secretary had the authority in the past, then he still does, and no amount of efforts by amateur sci-fi Monday Morning Quarterbacks can, in hindsight, time-travel back to 1965 and, thereby, change what was, previously, legal: The past is the past, and, since the secretary had this 100%-full and  plenary (a legal or parliamentary term) authority THEN, then it is logical to conclude that he/she still does. (If anything, the newer laws expand not compress his authority.) Now, even though some would argue that Congress would not write laws that weren't needed, that does not consider the stupidity of legislative bodies in writing unnecessary (but permissible) laws: We all know that Congress VERY OFTEN writes  new law instead of demanding that the Executive Branch (cops and police) enforce existing law it happens, folks, but the  new laws do NOT abrogate, annul, or otherwise cancel previously-passed VALID laws which is what Mark seems to be trying to do here. ADDENDUM: After writing this section above (namely that Mark was arguing that  newer laws were needed and which I rebut by showing that he is incorrect namely that The President  already had existing legal authority), I see another legal scholar make almost the exact same argument:  Textual arguments advanced by Trump administration lawyers that this clear language does not authorize jubilee are weak. Nontextual arguments advanced by others are based largely on the premise that the pro-jubilee interpretation of the HEA is fairly new. But after Bostock and McGirt, which elevated the Court s reading of plain text over previous common understandings of legal documents, the argument from novelty should fail.

(As I am not as  well known as Professor Hunt, this is also, nonetheless, a  useful observation for context to show that we both agree on this legal point.) Let's look at Mark's other concerns and arguments he goes on to say:  Without authorization by Congress of a specific loan forgiveness program, the President does not have the authority to forgive student loan debt. As the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Whitman v. American Trucking Assns., Inc., (531 USC 457, 2001), Congress does not  hide elephants in mouseholes.  ASSESSMENT: While, technically, his case-law seems correct, Mark overlooks that there already existed, from the very inception and passage, said authority. If that is true (and it is), then we need look no further for answers. Moreover, the case he cites clearly states that the court held:  Held: [] 1. Section 109(b) does not permit the Administrator to consider implementation costs in setting NAAQS. Because the CAA often expressly grants the EPA the authority to consider implementation costs, a provision for costs will not be inferred from its ambiguous provisions. Union Elec. Co. v. EPA, 427 U.S. 246, 257, and n. 5, which does not apply: The Union Elec. Co. case, here, refers to  ambiguous provisions, but the 1965 HEA is anything but ambiguous. A  hard pill to swallow, politically? Yes. An unwise or immoral action practically or morally? Perhaps. But, legally-speaking, it is far from ambiguous: A strict  textualist legal analysis would stop right here, and find such an Executive Order legal even if it was an  en masse broad  Jubilee cancellation of debt. COMPARISON/CONTRAST: This  broad action (to  forgive millions of loans) is not unlike what President Obama did with Executive Orders that created DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals ) and when he offered  legal status to millions on undocumented (illegal) immigrants during his tenure as President however, unlike President Biden's dilemma, there have been no sound legal explanations to show that Federal Law granted this broad power to President Obama. Whereas President Obama's supporters appealed to  broad Executive Branch authority, as a basis for his actions, no actual coherent Federal Law arguments were advanced; President Biden's dilemma on the other hand has solid backing from both numerous legal experts [9], with six of the eight legal memos being in agreement as well as existing Federal Law, the 1965 HEA, in this case. Mark then goes on to say that  In addition, the  this part language refers to Part B of Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, which applies only to loans made under the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program. ASSESSMENT: This writer accessed the full text of the 1965 HEA at both  HYPERLINK "https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/89/hr9567/text" \n _blankhttps://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/89/hr9567/text and  HYPERLINK "https://web.archive.org/web/20201023113500/https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/89/hr9567/text" \n _blankhttps://web.archive.org/web/20201023113500/https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/89/hr9567/text and did a keyword search of the mammoth and verbose text of this Federal Law, and search for both the key phrase  Federal Family Education Loan and the key word  FFEL and found nothing. Perhaps he can clarify this in a rebuttal or response. He goes on to say:  There is similar language in Part E at 20 USC 1087hh for the Federal Perkins Loan program. There is no similar language for Part D for the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) program. ASSESSMENT: That may be true, but what bearing has this on the existing authority of the law? Again, perhaps he or someone can clarify in a response, reply, or rebuttal. Mark also says:  The "parallel terms clause" in the Higher Education Act of 1965 at 20 USC 1087e(a)(1) (also, 20 USC 1087a(b)(2)) requires Direct Loan program loans to have the same terms and conditions as FFEL program loans. But this does not apply to the waiver authority because waiver authority is not part of the terms and conditions of the loans.  ASSESSMENT: This writer accessed said code at  HYPERLINK "https://www.Law.Cornell.edu/uscode/text/20/1087" \n _blankhttps://www.Law.Cornell.edu/uscode/text/20/1087 and did a keyword search of the page for the word  parallel and found that this word did not exist in the text of this Federal law; however, even assuming arguendo his claim to be true (if I overlooked something), what differences would it make if the loan programs were different? Also, what differences would terms and conditions of a loan make if waiver authority is complete and plenary (note the use of the word  any in the text of the waiver code, above)? With all due respect, this statement makes no sense. Additionally, after I gave this legal analysis, another legal scholar, Prof. John P Hunt (cited above  and shown below in the references) also addresses a  parallel clause concern  but uses the legal term  parity instead. Prof. Hunt, in his legal memo, seems to agree with me: Unless there is statutory warrant to conclude legal relevancy of parallel or parity clauses, this is a legally moot point. Prof. Hunt states that:  It is less clear that jubilee authority extends to all federally held loans. The  waive or release provision governs a now-defunct guaranteed loan program called FFELP, and it may not extend to the current direct loan program. However, the HEA also contains the  parity provision, under which direct loans have the  same terms, conditions, and benefits as FFELP loans. [] So is jubilee authority part of the  terms, conditions, and benefits of FFELP, and therefore direct, loans? Here, textualism is less helpful. The Department of Education relies on the parity provision to run the direct loan program. But the Department and courts have not explained why this is appropriate. Courts may disregard this administrative precedent unless it is backed by statutory text. [] A textual analysis of the HEA, relying on the use of words and phrases throughout the statute, dictionary definitions, and the common legal use of key terms, suggests that jubilee authority does extend to direct loans. Double brackets [] used to indicate line-breaks in original text, and used for format and appearance. Source:  Jubilee Under Textualism, 65 Pages, ABSTRACT, John P. Hunt, Ibid. LEGAL: Given just how smart Dr Kantrowitz is (not to mention that his motives and intents are pure and honest, as shown by his copious comments decrying the oppressive nature of oppressive price-gouging and oft-support for bankruptcy uniformity)  and given the gravity of the higher ed bubble (which will crash the dollar, as repeatedly proved in my Contract With America: Part II(TM) web-ring), these few disagreements might be further analyzed by a other legal scholars (besides myself and Mark), who hold various views for variety: see references, below looking carefully at detail. Mark goes on to opine as follows:  More Legal Obstacles [] In addition, the regulations at 31 CFR 902.2 specify the four situations in which a debt may be compromised. [] The borrower is unable to repay the debt within a reasonable period of time... (redacted for brevity) ASSESSMENT: Again, what difference does it make? So what if  new law expands existing authority? (See above) If the president (acting through his Sec of Ed  whom he can threaten to fire if he/she doesn't comply) already had existing Exec Order authority to do something, how would  new law affect this if it  added to existing authority? QUOTE Mark says that  So, even if the President could use an executive order to forgive student loan debt, which he cannot, these regulations will prevent the President from forgiving the student loan debt of borrowers who are able to repay their student loans within a reasonable period of time. ASSESSMENT: His conclusion (regarding an alleged limitation on authority to waive debt) is incorrect because the premise (that there is a limitation on who is eligible) is incorrect. QUOTE:  Federal agencies are also required by the regulations at 31 CFR 901.1(a) to  aggressively collect all debts." ASSESSMENT: That is true  see e.g.,  HYPERLINK "https://www.Law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/31/901.1" \n _blankhttps://www.Law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/31/901.1  but it is also true that Federal prosecutors are required (or at least expected) to  aggressively pursue prosecutions and, yet, this fact DOES NOT (and CAN not) cancel the President's ability to issue a pardon. Therefore, Mark's logic here (of a similar cancel of Exec Order authority granted by the 1965 HEA) is legally fallacy and unsound logic. Mark goes on to ask a rhetorical question:  Didn t President Trump use this waiver authority to implement the payment pause and interest waiver, setting a precedent that could be leveraged to forgive federal student loans?, and quotes an Trump Exec Order, which relies on the authority of  hardship deferments described in section 455(f)(2)(D) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, 20 U.S.C. 1087e(f)(2)(D). Mark then argues that  To implement an interest waiver after the expiration of the CARES Act s payment pause, the U.S. Secretary of Education must rely on the waiver authority in the HEROES Act of 2003 [20 USC 1098bb]. ASSESSMENT: As above, I ask: what difference does it make? So what if  new law (HEROES Act, for example) expands existing authority? If the president (acting through his Sec of Ed) already had existing Exec Order authority to do something, how would  new law affect this if it  added to existing authority? Moreover, in NEITHER press release for recent student loan payment or interest pauses did either the Dept of Ed or The Whitehouse cite to HEROES act:  At the Request of President Biden, Acting Secretary of Education Will Extend Pause on Federal Student Loan Payments, U.S. Dept of Ed, press release, JANUARY 21, 2021; Contact: Press Office, (202) 401-1576,  HYPERLINK "mailto:press@ed.gov" \n _blankpress@ed.gov *  HYPERLINK "https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/request-president-biden-acting-secretary-education-will-extend-pause-federal-student-loan-payments" \n _blankhttps://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/request-president-biden-acting-secretary-education-will-extend-pause-federal-student-loan-payments *  HYPERLINK "https://archive.vn/xPoXt" \n _blankhttps://archive.vn/xPoXt *  HYPERLINK "https://Web.Archive.org/web/20210825214858/https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/request-president-biden-acting-secretary-education-will-extend-pause-federal-student-loan-payments" \n _blankhttps://Web.Archive.org/web/20210825214858/https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/request-president-biden-acting-secretary-education-will-extend-pause-federal-student-loan-payments  Biden Administration Extends Student Loan Pause Until January 31, 2022, U.S. Dept of Ed, press release, AUGUST 6, 2021; Contact: Press Office, (202) 401-1576,  HYPERLINK "mailto:press@ed.gov" \n _blankpress@ed.gov *  HYPERLINK "https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/biden-administration-extends-student-loan-pause-until-january-31-2022" \n _blankhttps://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/biden-administration-extends-student-loan-pause-until-january-31-2022 *  HYPERLINK "https://Archive.vn/2ePyj" \n _blankhttps://Archive.vn/2ePyj *  HYPERLINK "https://Web.Archive.org/web/20210826023416/https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/biden-administration-extends-student-loan-pause-until-january-31-2022" \n _blankhttps://Web.Archive.org/web/20210826023416/https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/biden-administration-extends-student-loan-pause-until-january-31-2022 QUESTION: Why? Because HEROES Act was not needed: The 1965 HEA  alone is sufficient to grant Exec Order authority. Therefore, if HEROES and other  emergency legislation was not needed then, then it is not needed now. Mark goes on to say:  The waiver authority provided by the HEROES Act of 2003 is sufficient to implement the payment pause and interest waiver, but not to forgive student loans. ASSESSMENT: Correct but as the 1965 HEA was  and still is  sufficient to do both, what difference does it make? He also says:  Forgiving student loans goes beyond what is necessary to ensure that borrowers are in the same position financially after the national emergency as before the national emergency. ASSESSMENT: Same answer as above  Correct but as the 1965 HEA was already sufficient, from the very first day, back when it was created in 1965, what difference does it make? Mark then says:  In addition, the executive memorandum specified that  This memorandum shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations. Congress has not appropriated funds for broad student loan forgiveness. ASSESSMENT: Here, Mark makes a logic error: He assumes two things: First, he assumes that PayGo rules apply to the President's authority under the 1965 HEA. This is incorrect: While Congress must generally abide by PayGo (they must raise taxes and/or cut spending to cancel federally-held debt if they don't waive the PayGo requirements  politically very difficult), there is no requirement, in the text of this law, the 1965 HEA, for the president to raise funds to offset cancellations, thus it simply is not required. Period. It is the law of the land. According to the Tax Policy Center, "PAYGO, which stands for  pay as you go, is a budget rule requiring that tax cuts and mandatory spending increases must be offset (i.e.,  paid for ) by tax increases or cuts in mandatory spending. PAYGO does not apply to discretionary spending (spending that is controlled through the appropriations process)." SOURCES: *  HYPERLINK "https://www.TaxPolicyCenter.org/briefing-book/what-paygo" \n _blankhttps://www.TaxPolicyCenter.org/briefing-book/what-paygo *  HYPERLINK "https://Archive.vn/JcfFe" \n _blankhttps://Archive.vn/JcfFe *  HYPERLINK "https://Web.Archive.org/web/20210420064322/https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/what-paygo" \n _blankhttps://Web.Archive.org/web/20210420064322/https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/what-paygo * Or Google  PayGo rules. Secondly, Mark incorrectly assumes that funds must be appropriated at all to pay these debts. This is also incorrect because the debts to the colleges were paid off the moment the students took out the loans meaning taxpayers own the debt  they don't guarantee it, and this is an important distinction: If taxpayers  guaranteed the debt (as they did in times past before the Pres. Obama signed into law the purchase of almost all student debt by taxpayers), then  yes  we'd have to pay off the loans, but, as it stands, we already paid off the loans  slightly more than twice, actually  PROOF: STUDENT BORROWERS HAVE RE-PAID ALL STUDENT DEBT -- TWICE and THEN SOME: Yes, you read correctly: The first time was when taxpayers (which included student borrowers) repaid colleges in full when -- due to a little-known provision of the Affordable Care Act, signed into law in 2010 -- taxpayers PURCHASED (yes, BOUGHT) all, or almost all, of the then-existing federally-guaranteed student debt. I.e., the debts that was previously  guaranteed is now owned. Thus, the debt has been paid in full, and cancellation would cost nothing (well, unless you include the fact that the over-charged victims would be allowed to stop paying, but as they've already re-paid and *over-paid*, they *should* be allowed to stop paying). The 2ND time the debt was re-paid? Students have repaid taxpayers $1.22 for EVERY $1.00 of defaulted student loans (probably more when you consider that loans in good standing have no repayment problems), that taxpayers have lent them. Indeed, the government has been booking at least $50 Billion/year{{**}} on the federal student loan portfolio since 2010. Certainly far more than that in recent years, and this and this at illegally-inflated costs, to boot. (I add that qualifier because many people pay more than 100% on loans due to interest  car loans, house loans, etc.  but NONE of these are illegally-inflated principle costs, which are almost impossible to pay even before interest/fees.)

That figure was up from less than $150 billion in January 2009, representing a nearly 600% increase over that time span. The main culprit is student loans, which the federal government effectively monopolized in a little-known provision of the Affordable Care Act, signed into law in 2010. [] Prior to the Affordable Care Act, a majority of student loans originated with a private lender but were guaranteed by the government, meaning taxpayers foot the bill if student borrowers default.

Now, however, thanks to ACA, taxpayers (you and me) OWN almost all student debt. So, all those  yahoos who keep saying they don't want to  pay for your college (student debt)...well, too late: THE VERY SECOND that the loans are taken out, taxpayers paid for it. Period. Colleges are paid immediately. So, as the government OWN$ federally-held student debt, forgiveness would cost NOTHING (well, unless you include the fact that the over-charged victims would be allowed to stop paying, but as they've already re-paid and *over-paid*, they *should* be allowed to stop paying). The college loans are paid off COMPLETELY the very moment the loan is issued whereby the student is a  conduit or  pass through of obscenely huge sums of money, passing from taxpayer to ber-rich colleges/universities. Now, I just showed that almost ALL college debt is PAID IN FULL, above, and  cancellation, by an EXECUTIVE ORDER by President Biden, would cost NO tax dollars, but actually ALL college debt (not almost all, but ALL) has been MORE-THAN  paid in full  TWICE: Here is the second time it was paid for: Students have paid back $1.22 for EVERY $1.00 of defaulted student loans (probably more when you consider that loans in good standing have no repayment problems), that taxpayers have lent them, and this at illegally-inflated costs, to boot. I add that qualifier because many people pay more than 100% on loans due to interest  car loans, house loans, etc.  but NONE of these are illegally-inflated principle costs, which are almost impossible to pay even before interest/fees. PROOF: * QUOTE 1 of 3:  According to White House budget figures for fiscal 2011 ending in September, the federal government expects gross recovery of between $1.10 and $1.22 for every dollar of defaulted student loans. An estimated $49.9 billion of Federal Family Education Loan and Federal Direct Lending Program loans are in default, out of a total $713.4 billion outstanding, as of Sept. 30.

Watts, is "personally" against loan cancellation{{See NOTE}} (since, as stated on my page, "freeing" some debt slaves would NOT end slavery), nonetheless, here is documented proof that ALL student debt (and then some) has been repaid slightly more than twice (once when taxpayers paid off colleges, and again, a 2ND time when student borrowers MORE THAN repaid the loan -- and that at illegally-inflated costs -- hence "more than twice" is most precise and accurate and (more to the point), a Biden Exec Order would NOT require ANY appropriations under PayGo  and, moreover, even WERE appropriations required, that's no problem: they've already been appropriated AND PAID OUT to our greedy colleges with students as a  pass through or  conduit of copious funds the very second the loans were taken out all appropriations were done and paid out. {{ NOTE }} EXCEPTIONS: But, before moving on, I want to point out one other consideration regarding  cancellation : While, normally, I am  against loan cancellations, forgiveness, free college,  Liberal free handouts, etc., nonetheless, based on the MASSIVE amount of illegal price-gouging, monopoly (yes, it's illegal), predatory lending, deceptive lending, illegal changes in existing loan contracts, as well as the egregious violations of the US Constitution's Uniformity Clause in current Federal bankruptcy law  I believe some or all college debt cancellation is justified, especially for people who payed well-over free market value (price-gouging victims). Moreover, while I'm normally against  free college, nonetheless, many (if not most) countries have free (or very affordable) college, and WE had free (or very affordable) college just decades ago, AND we have free PUBLIC Education, so a good case can be made for either free or affordable college (but not horribly expensive excessive taxation, where tuition is a type of tax it being funding going to an arm of government, state govt colleges here). Next, Mark considers the question of  Can The President Waive The Taxes On Student Loan Forgiveness?, and points out that  The IRS considers the cancellation of debt to be taxable income to the borrower. The page editor, apparently added an update as follows:  Editor's Note: On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Recovery Act into law. This law made all loan forgiveness, for all loan types and programs, tax-free on the Federal level through December 31, 2025. This includes both Federal and private loans. ASSESSMENT: This is useful information because the 1965 HEA does not address taxable income, which is the case here. (But, if a person is too poor to pay income tax owed, this is the case of  can't get blood from a turnip, and the IRS would have no choice but to do without and/or seek legal action as appropriate.) But, while useful information, this is  off-topic to the subject in the title namely, can the President use Exec Order to cancel federally-held student debt. Yes, he can, but private student debt (that is, debt held by a private entity) can NOT be canceled by Exec Order: This would interfere with a private (loan) contract and be quite illegal as described further here:  HYPERLINK "https://ContractWithAmerica2.com/" \l "contract" \n _blankhttps://ContractWithAmerica2.com/#contract Mark goes on to address other topics:  Certain types of student loan forgiveness and discharge are excluded from income due to specific laws enacted by Congress.  and   Does Student Loan Forgiveness Qualify As A Disaster Relief Payment? [] Qualified disaster relief payments are excluded from income under 26 USC 139. COVID-19 qualifies as a national disaster under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act,... ASSESSMENT: Mark seems to answer his own question here, when he says that:  But student loans are not an expense incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and student loan forgiveness is unrelated to the pandemic. That seems correct, but it is a moot point as it does not address the matter of Exec Order authority, and shall not be addressed in this legal memo. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS: First, we see, above, in the Dept of Ed press releases, Pres. Biden do several Exec Orders to  pause (postpone) both principal payments and interest on student loans without citation to HEROES Act or the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, as Trump appears to have used: *  HYPERLINK "https://www.EveryCrsReport.com/reports/LSB10568.html" \n _blankhttps://www.EveryCrsReport.com/reports/LSB10568.html *  HYPERLINK "https://www.MarketWatch.com/story/were-essentially-pushing-the-pain-down-the-road-trumps-order-to-extend-payment-freeze-on-some-student-loans-leaves-many-unanswered-questions-11597076467" \n _blankhttps://www.MarketWatch.com/story/were-essentially-pushing-the-pain-down-the-road-trumps-order-to-extend-payment-freeze-on-some-student-loans-leaves-many-unanswered-questions-11597076467 Thus, if Pres. Biden didn't need additional authority to  pause student loans several times, what's to prevent him from  pausing student loans indefinitely as well as the interest payments due? So, what does this prove? FIRST, it proves that he has Executive Order authority over this area, and if he can do it for a temporary "pause," why can he not do it permanently, that is, an indefinite and infinite number of "pauses." SECONDLY, please notice that NONE of the "pauses" or "suspensions in payments by either President Trump or President Biden required ANY "action by Congress," nor did it cost ANY taxpayer dollars to do so (probably SAVED some taxpayer dollars as "overhead costs" went down on programs where students weren't paying anyhow), nor did it require ANY appropriations, that is spending of taxpayer dollars nor did Pres. Biden's actions require any HEROES or Covid relief acts  .

MOREOVER: Since prior  Biden pauses on both principal payments and interest required NO additional laws (HEROES or Covid-relief legislation), then neither would it be required for him to continue to do this for a  1,000-year pause which is effectively the same as the Exec Order in question. Legally, there is no distinction between Pres. Biden doing a  one thousand year pause on principal payments & interest as versus an outright loan cancellation. So, why would he have any less authority to cancel the full debt under 1965 HEA? Secondly, it would cost no tax dollars  not only for reasons explicated above, but (as a logical reasoning), let's say Mary Sue owed Johnny Boy a million dollars, would it require  appropriations or  taxes for Johnny to tell Mary Sue  you're forgiven?  NO. LASTLY: As shown in my project page, linked above, it might actually save administration overhead costs:  The Department [of Education] and ECMC often oppose an undue hardship discharge for a consumer who could make minimal IDR payments even when there is no likelihood that the consumer s financial situation will improve or that there will be any meaningful repayment of the student loans. Even when faced with clear evidence that the consumer s situation is not likely to change, the Department s position has been that the consumer should wait twenty or twenty-five years in the future to obtain loan forgiveness through the IDR program rather than a seek bankruptcy discharge. This position is fiscally irresponsible as it fails to consider the administrative costs to the Federal government and ultimately taxpayers in keeping the consumer on an IDR plan when there is no anticipated loan repayment. [] This is illustrated by the Department s actions in In re West.45 The debtor is 60 years old and unemployed. His only income is $194 per month in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program ( SNAP ) benefits, and he lives with an aunt who does not charge him rent. The bankruptcy court found the debtor s testimony to be credible that his criminal background, combined with his age and race, have made it impossible for him to find work. Despite this bleak future, the Department argued that the debtor should not receive a bankruptcy discharge and instead should enroll in an IDR with a $0 payment. [] Simply put, the Department s policy amounts to throwing good money after bad. Editor's Note: Boldface added for clarity; not in original. Source:  Written Testimony of Attorney John Rao, by Atty.

Additionally, another notable legal memo was written on this matter in opposition to the view that The President has existing legal authority under the 1965 HEA to enact such a broad and sweeping  en masse student debt cancellation and I promised to address highlights of that memo, as well, and I shall do so, below: In the  MEMORANDUM TO BETSY DeVOS SECRETARY OF EDUCATION Re: Student Loan Principal Balance Cancellation, Compromise, Discharge, and Forgiveness Authority, by Reed D. Rubinstein, Dept of Ed Principal Deputy General Counsel, dated January 12, 2021, arguments are made against such broad Jubilee authority: This memo  oddly-enough  was deleted off the Dept of Ed's website (see references below to verify, and compare with archives, Google searches, etc.). While not  legally relevant, I mention this new development  up front, because some have suggested that the DOE was ashamed of their horrible legal logic and then deleted their legal memo from their website. This is only speculation (on unprovable and unproved motives and intents), and is not intended in any disrespect, but is simply stated for context. This memo cites to the Appropriations Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Art.I, Sec.9, cl.7), and The Antideficiency Act (at 31 U.S.C. 1341-1342, 1349-1351, 1511-1519), which codified into law such limitations on Executive Branch authority. However, I address these points in my rebuttal to Mark, above. The memo goes on to say:  The nature and scope of the Secretary s HEA authority is determined by construing the relevant statutory text in accordance with its ordinary public meaning at the time of enactment, Bostock v. Clayton Cnty., 140 S. Ct. 1731, 1738 (2020), in context and with consideration for the overall statutory scheme. Yates v. United States, 574 U.S. 528, 537 38, 40 41 (2015) (Ginsberg, J.); Davis v. Mich. Dep t. of Treasury, 489 U.S. 803, 809 (1989). Oddly-enough, this actually supports the  textualist approach which I take and I address this, above, in my  Addendum, where I cite to Prof. Hunt's legal memo. It further says that:  Finally, if an otherwise acceptable construction of a statute raises serious constitutional problems, and where an alternative interpretation of the statute is  fairly possible, Crowell v. Benson, 285 U.S. 22, 62 (1932), then the statute should be construed to avoid such problems. This begs the question, though, and assumes a Constitutional problem without first proving it. That is circular logic  aka  begging the question  and thus a logical fallacy. Next, this memo makes the  appropriations argument, which I have shown to be an incorrect application of fact: As the monies in question have already been paid out (and thus do not need to be  appropriated to pay a future expense), this argument is vapid and  void ab initio, a legal term meaning incorrect from the very  get go. Further, the memo to Sec. DeVos goes on to say:  Attempting to shoehorn broad authority into 20 U.S.C. 1082(a)(6) would create a paradigmatic  elephant in a mousehole, swallow up and render surplusage many Title IV provisions, and needlessly create Spending Clause, Antideficiency Act, and dispensing power concerns. Besides the leap in logic regarding appropriations in this claim, the infamous  elephant in a mousehole argument is bandied about: The  already existing authority argument advanced by myself and Prof. Hunt (above, in the  Addendum ) makes moot this concern: If already existing statutory authority existed for such action, why would it even be necessary to consider any attempt to shoehorn broad authority into 20 U.S.C. 1082(a)(6)? It would not: Thus, it is a legally moot point. The memo further states that:  Congress has delegated to the Secretary authority to provide specified waivers or modifications to Title IV federal financial student aid program statutory and regulatory requirements because of the declared National Emergency. Again, not only did  existing authority exist in 1965 for such an Executive Order, but moreover, none of Pres. Biden's recent  pauses to both principal payments and interest fees relied on such new legislation, like HEROES, Covid-19 National Emergency, etc., and as explained above if he did it once, he can do it for a bunch more times maybe a 1,000-year  pause? Nothing precludes him from this. Finally, the Dept of Ed memo states that:  Plain HEA language and context strongly suggest Congress never intended the HEROES Act as authority for mass cancellation, compromise, discharge, or forgiveness of student loan principal balances, and/or to materially modify repayment amounts or terms... RESPONSE: This is correct, but so what? Although a probably moot legal point as to the authority, itself, the DOE memo does make this interesting concluding comment:  Finally, even if the HEA could be fairly construed as granting the Secretary authority to provide blanket or mass cancellation, compromise, discharge, or forgiveness of student loan principal balances, and/or to materially modify the repayment amounts or terms thereof, we note the possibility Executive action doing so might be appropriately and necessarily considered a legislative rule under the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 551(4). As such, all the requirements of notice and comment rulemaking under 5 U.S.C. 553 might need to be met. See, e.g., Motor Vehicle Mfrs. Ass n v. State Farm Mutual Auto. Ins., Co., 463 U.S. 29, 43 (1983) ( an agency rule would be arbitrary and capricious if the agency has relied on factors which Congress has not intended it to consider. ). RESPONSE: While not technically related to the matter at hand (the legality of such an Exec Order), this is such an easy  low-hanging fruit question, I'll jump up, grab it, and take a bite: I do not recall any public comments solicited for either of Pres. Obama's controversial Executive Orders, discussed above  that created DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals ) and when he offered  legal status to millions on undocumented (illegal) immigrants during his tenure as President  so, I don't see why Pres. Biden's potential Executive Order (or, for that matter, any Exec Order) would require such public comments, as required by federal  rule making law  and, as are occasionally done when public comments are solicited on a new administrative matters. Respectfully, this final comment in this Dept of Ed legal memo makes absolutely no sense to the undersigned writer. Besides this breaking news[11], all of these previously-discussed reasons (and those elucidated in the other legal memos, shown below, in the references), convince this undersigned writer that the Secretary of Education (and, by extension, The President via Executive Order authority) does indeed have broad statutory authority to provide blanket or mass cancellation, compromise, discharge, or forgiveness of student loan principal balances, and/or to materially modify the repayment amounts or terms thereof, whether due to the COVID-19 pandemic or for any other reason. But, this  breaking news just proves (by practice) what was already proven earlier (by legal argument, using a strict textualist legal analysis). That said, this writer takes no opinion or view on the  wisdom of en masse cancellation, since, as previously stated,  freeing some debt slaves would not end collegiate debt slavery and requisite abridgments and violations of state, federal, and constitutional law, nor moral law and common law nor offer practical solutions current economic crises a topic which is outside the narrow scope of this legal review.

The U.S. Constitution, in Art. I, Sec. 10, clause 1, strictly forbids changes in existing contracts by lawmakers: "Section 10: Powers Denied to the States... No State shall...pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts." SOURCE: U.S. CONSTITUTION, Art. I, Sec. 10, cl.1 Legal Scholars recognize this as a valid interpretation of the CONSTITUTION: QUOTE:  It is not illegal to alter a contract once it has been signed. However, it must be materially changed, meaning that if an important part of the contract is altered by the change, it must be made by mutual consent of both parties. If only one party modifies the contract without the agreement of the other, then it is unlikely the changes will be enforceable.

This is quite illegal that was a valid contract, and the student borrowers did NOT consent to any change. This violated case law on contracts, as well as the CONTRACT CLAUSE of the U.S. Constitution. And it constituted deceptive lending: Had students known that they would lack standard consumer protections (Statutes of Limitations, Bankruptcy defense, Truth in Lending, Fair Debt & Collection standards Usury laws, Rights to Refinance, etc.), many would NOT have taken out said loans. That would be like you buying a car, and finding out that the brakes, transmission, and engine were all shot and defective. NO one would expect you to pay on that! #DeceptiveLending, hello? PROOF: QUOTE:  BAPCPA also removed bankruptcy protections on student debt for private student loans. This was the culmination of several decades of reduced protections on student loans, starting in the late 1970s. First student loans weren t dischargeable in bankruptcy during their first five years. Then, in 1996, Social Security payments became eligible to be garnished to pay student loans. In 1998, the statute of limitations was removed so that public student loans were never dischargeable. BAPCPA extended all this to private loans. At the time, the private lender Sallie Mae pushed for this reform above all others. A study by Mark Kantrowitz found that this change did little to increase the availability of private student loans to students with poor credit, which is precisely what it was supposed to do (Konczal 2011).

[]  6There are rare cases in which students loan borrowers can prove undue hardship and discharge student loans. See appendix A for more on student loan bankruptcy.

Random  Other Legal analyses: It may be possible that ABSOLUTELY NO money at all would be needed to cancel the loans. If you read any of Ron Paul's stuff on monetary policy, all loans are created  out of thin air. Literally. When you go out to eat, and put it on your credit card (not debit card, that's different), that debt is CREATED  out of thin air,  fiat money  and not backed by any gold AT ALL!  just by you signing an agreement to pay it. Visa/ MasterCard covers your bill, and that creates a debt that you now agree to pay. When you buy a house, and the bank cuts a check to the owner you are buying from, you don't think that bank actually "spits out" $250,000, do you? NO. They create that debt  out of thin air, backed only by your promise to pay. Student loans are the same way. You don't think that colleges actually have all that money  in a bank account allotted to student loans / tuition, do you? NO. They have you sign an agreement that you are borrowing X-amount of dollars, and that you agree to pay it back. That's it. Then they enter the paid amount on your college account and cut you a check for the rest. It's all  funny money created  out of thin air. But then you have to work and pay it back with actual hard work and REAL money. Government and banks create money out of thin air all the time (for their own greedy selves! But not for us, hello!?). Canceling it would not cost anyone a dime. But they don't want to tell the public that, because it would likely cause an armed revolt. Like the recent riots, arson burnings, looting, & protests of late. In fact, many of these  old timers, who complain  they took out the debt, they should repay, will likely face a HEART ATTACK, STROKE, CANCER or worse! And be faced with but TWO choices: Take out a HUGE medical debt, or die graveyard dead! And, then the college students (who were told to either go to colleges & work hard OR BE UNABLE TO GET A NORMAL JOB) will tell these "old timers" to go pound sand and repay their debt... #DoubleStandards and #Karma Thus, if readers don't like the idea of students getting off scot free, then -- instead -- they must demand lawmakers PREVENT all this violence like this: Restore bankruptcy fairness for students -- which would make the lender (Dept of Ed using YOUR tax dollars) slow up on the bleedout pork spending waste --and loan limits, as outlined in this project. Lastly, many (perhaps most) of these  old timers got FREE college (or at least, very affordable), a belief that even our founding fathers held: * Founding father, Thomas Jefferson, said that higher education should be free. * U.S Sen.

This is not meant in a negative way towards immigrants from Asia, India, Cuba, etc., who beat out our youth, and often score higher on college entrance tests. (In fact, these foreigners deserve kudos, credit, and recognition for hard work.) Rather, this observation is simply made to show why American youth are undereducated: the  Epic Fail American Higher Education lending system is a roadblock to almost 100% of all youth who wish to better themselves, and, while this paper does not address particular solutions (it is outside the scope of the limited legal analyses of Dr. Kantrowitz' legal memo), nonetheless, in links above, these related topics are explored, for the reader who wishes to research this further. [11] BREAKING NEWS: A lot has happened since publication of this legal memo, including the fall of yet another student loan servicer, this time, Student Loan/Lending giant, NAVIENT, as well as continued  debt ceiling crises, portents and omens that the Federal Student Loan system is crumbling under its weight, and is indeed an  Epic Fail, as national student debt expert, Alan M. Collinge, often says. However, the news item referenced in the abstract and time-stamp, above, is related to this legal controversy. After many years of reporting by other news sources that  over 99% of [Public Service Loan Forgiveness applicant] borrowers who applied were rejected, CBS's 60 MINUTES did a recent follow-up on this epic fail, which greatly embarrassed the U.S. Department of Education:  Military members promised student debt relief in exchange for ten years of public service say promise is often broken: The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program was meant to erase student loan debt for borrowers who spent a decade as public servants. But the program has come up woefully short for members of the military.

Qualifying employers include any federal, state, local or tribal government and not-for-profit organizations. So, what's the problem, you might ask? (Good question.) They go on to report that  In 2018, the Department of Education released data that 6/2/2021 The US already has student debt forgiveness but barely anyone gets it indicated 29,000 borrowers had applied to have their student loans forgiven under PSLF, but only 96 received forgiveness. That means that over 99% of borrowers who applied were rejected. Yes, you read correctly: Almost ONE-HUNDRED (100%) PERCENT of ALL PSLF applicants for forgiveness of student loans are rejected! So much for trying to "play by the rules" and "work off" your college debt with Public Service.

The only  legally valid answer is if another law (besides 34CFR685.219) gives them a grant of authority: Thus their own actions, here, speak louder than words, and thus the Dept of Ed admits that the 1965HEA does, indeed, grant them plenary and full authority to do what this memo, here, is claiming: The only  legal way that DOE could expand PSLF beyond the limits of 34CFR685.219 is if 1965HEA, or similar, grants them such  broad authority: Obviously, it does, thus also permitting said  broad cancellation. CONCLUSION: Besides this breaking news, all of these previously-discussed reasons (and those elucidated in the other legal memos, shown above, in the references), convince this undersigned writer that the Secretary of Education (and, by extension, The President via Executive Order authority) does indeed have broad statutory authority to provide blanket or mass cancellation, compromise, discharge, or forgiveness of student loan principal balances, and/or to materially modify the repayment amounts or terms thereof, whether due to the COVID-19 pandemic or for any other reason. But, this  breaking news just proves (by practice) what was already proven earlier (by legal argument, using a strict textualist legal analysis). That said, this writer takes no opinion or view on the  wisdom of en masse cancellation, since, as previously stated,  freeing some debt slaves would not end collegiate debt slavery and requisite abridgments and violations of state, federal, and constitutional law, nor moral law and common law nor offer practical solutions current economic crises a topic which is outside the narrow scope of this legal review. [12] BREAKING NEWS: A lot **more** has happened since initial publication of this legal memo, including the following, which must be addressed: [[a]] EXEC ORDER: President Biden recently issued an Executive Order, replying upon HEROES, to cancel up to $20,000 in federally-held student debt. Is this legal? We engage this legal question. [[b]] COURT CHALLENGES: There are now legal challenges (including to the U.S. Supreme Court) to [[a]] above, and the issue of  standing is now relevant. [[c]] STANDING: Referring to [[b]] above: Who (if anyone) has legal  standing to challenge such an Executive Order? [[d]] 9TH PAUSE: President Biden has issued a record ninth (9TH)  pause on student loan repayments, interest, and collections of federally-held student debt, and this is getting ridiculous (which begs the question: If the president can issue  endless pauses, isn't that the same thing as cancellation? And, if so, then why is the latter being questioned when the former is well-accepted?) [[e]] *** SUMMARY: My own legal analyses of the above; other legal memos on HEROES; plus, my take: Mootness -- regarding both the legal authority questions and the practical effect of the cancellation. If President Biden has plenary and full legal authority under 1965HEA, then any concerns regarding HEROES are moot. Secondly, even IF Biden's Exec Order survives multiple court challenges (and it may not), this, also, is moot: What about a  long term solution to crushing student debt slavery (where college is no longer affordable to anyone but a few rich folk? Who will be your doctor if you have heart attack / stroke / cancer / major accident if no American children can any longer afford to become doctors?). Sure: not all should go to college, but SOME should. [[f]] *** (Cancellation Exec Order) Relevant Quote: Even IF the Exec Order survives multiple court challenges, it would free some  debt slaves, but NOT abolish debt slavery, and this action would make Abe Lincoln turn over in his grave--and must be addressed by ALL who oppose any/all forms of slavery/oppression.

The suit had previously been dismissed by a federal District Court judge for lack of standing. [] On Friday [10/21/2022], a federal judge in Missouri dismissed a suit brought by a coalition of Republican-led states arguing that the student loan forgiveness plan would deprive states, and state-affiliated FFELP participants such as MOHELA, of revenue. Legal observers had viewed this suit as one of the more potent challenges to Biden s plan. The states are appealing the ruling. [] Also on Friday [10/21/2022], a federal judge in Indiana dismissed a suit brought by a conservative legal organization arguing that the student loan forgiveness plan should be blocked because of potential state tax implications. The Plaintiffs are appealing. (Small Fair Use quote of the above for commentary, research, etc.) More recently, however, CNBC reported that  A federal appeals court issued a nationwide injunction temporarily barring the Biden administration's student loan debt relief program. [] The ruling by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis came after six states argued in a lawsuit that the program threatens their future tax revenues and circumvents congressional authority. [] "The injunction will remain in effect until further order of this court or the Supreme Court of the United States," a three-judge panel of the appeals court said in its ruling.

(Many loans have interest, but almost no loans lack constitutionally-protected bankruptcy uniformity or are predatory in nature due to price-gouging, changes in contract terms without consent of both parties, deprivation of truth in lending, or other issues -- all of these which are quite illegal. [[c]] STANDING: Referring to [[b]] above: Who (if anyone) has legal  standing to challenge such an Executive Order? That is, who (if anyone) has the legal right to challenge such an Exec Order by Pres Biden? According to Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555 (1992), a person claiming standing must meet three (3) requirements: (1) He/she must suffer an  injury in fact, that is, a  concrete and imminent injury, not merely theoretical, conjectural, hypothetical, or abstract. (2) Secondly, there must be a  cause and effect relationship between the injury (and be economic, non-economic, or both) and the conduct being challenged as illegal. (3) Third and last, there must be a likelihood of a favourable court decision redressing the complaint, and not merely one of speculation. See e.g.,  HYPERLINK "https://Supreme.Justia.com/cases/federal/us/504/555/"https://Supreme.Justia.com/cases/federal/us/504/555/ And:  HYPERLINK "https://www.Law.Cornell.edu/wex/standing"https://www.Law.Cornell.edu/wex/standing An excellent legal memo on this point of law recently addressed the key areas in question, and considers five (5) classes of potential litigants claiming standing: (1) taxpayers, (2) former borrowers, (3) members of Congress, (4) state governments, and (5) loan servicers. -- ((1)) TAXPAYERS: While, yes, some may argue that tax dollars would fund a potential loan cancellation (or, even if students have repaid said debt, taxpayers might lose out on funds that would, otherwise, be collected), this memo points out that the U.S. Supreme Court, in Frothingham v. Mellon, 262 U.S. 447, 478 80 (1923),  determined that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the merits of the case because administration of a federal statute would spread a tax burden among a  vast number of taxpayers, whose financial interests would be difficult to discern and in constant flux. (Ibid., at 487). ((2)) FORMER BORROWERS: While former student loan borrowers who've repaid their loans might certainly be upset, nonetheless, they correctly point out that  Former borrowers can point to no injury, only a benefit that others subsequently experienced. And as Lujan made clear, it is difficult to claim standing based on  unlawful regulation (or lack of regulation) of someone else. , citing Lujan v. Defs. of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560 61 (1992). ((3)) MEMBERS OF CONGRESS: Occasionally, Members of Congress (House or Senate) bring suit (individually or jointly), but this memo, citing appropriate legal authority (internal citations redacted), points out that:  rationales under which a legislature may claim particularized injury are limited, including instances where votes are essentially nullified, where a legislature intervenes to defend the constitutionality of legislation, and where the legislature sues as an institution to defend its powers, and that this hesitancy to allow standing relies largely on Constitutional separation of powers. ((4)) STATE GOVERNMENTS: Some state governments, or states, may sue (and, as we see in recent news, some have indeed brought suit!). The memo claims that states can assert standing only under  three main categories, including proprietary interests, sovereign interests, and quasi-sovereign interests, and go on to say that  the Ninth Circuit determined that the state had standing to sue because its university would lose tuition income, students, and faculty. Yet there are no similar rationales for proprietary injury as a result of loan forgiveness. In fact, citizens who send less money to the federal treasury are more likely to spend that money locally on housing, education, and services that benefit state economies and tax revenues. This means that state treasuries would benefit from loan forgiveness rather than incur additional costs, frustrating claims of proprietary injury. (Internal citations redacted for brevity, here & elsewhere if not stated otherwise) ((5)) LOAN SERVICERS: Lastly, this legal memo considers student loan servicers who, as one might imagine, could lose a little bit of money as a result of the Executive Order in question. While, yes, they might indeed incur a bit of financial loss, nonetheless, to acquire standing, they would need to show that they incurred a  concrete injury to a legally protected interest. Since there may, in fact,  be no legally protected interest in retaining any specific number of loans under the contract, loan contractors may lack standing. However, they go on to say that  the plaintiff would also need to satisfy the specific cause of action set out in the APA, namely that the injury falls  within the meaning of a relevant statute. This requirement called the  zone of interests test , that is,  the zone of interests protected by statutes limiting the activity of their competitors. The memo concludes this point by pointing out that  Courts have reached comparable decisions when third parties employed by the agency experience financial loss as a result of agency action pursuant to statutory authority unrelated to the plaintiffs. For instance, civilian employees at a military base could not challenge the government s decision to outsource their jobs to a private contractor because they did not fall within the zone of interests of any relevant federal statute regulating procurement The court reasoned that none of the statutes were designed to protect federal employees jobs. In other words, the law granting President Biden authority to do this Executive Order was NOT  designed to protect said loan contractors, and that is just tough luck for them. AUTHOR'S TAKE: In fact, this undersigned legal scholar (Gordon Wayne Watts) agrees with the logic of the legal memo cites/quoted above: While all Americans are often effected by new laws put in place by, for example, the IRS, practically no one has standing to sue simply based on economic harms incurred (even if real, and not imagined). Moreover, many Americans don't have children, and yet they do, in fact, pay into Public Education. Are they not harmed, and suffer financially? (Yes, of course!) But, do we see them suing to stop use of their tax dollars to fund Public Education? Most certainly not! Therefore, similar arguments concerning Higher Education, clearly, do NOT fall within the  zone of interests or traditional legal bases for legal standing.

And, if so, then why is the latter being questioned when the former is well-accepted?)

If President Biden has plenary and full legal authority under 1965HEA, then any concerns regarding HEROES are moot. Secondly, even IF Biden's Exec Order survives multiple court challenges (and it may not), this, also, is moot: What about a  long term solution to crushing student debt slavery (where college is no longer affordable to anyone but a few rich folk? Who will be your doctor if you have heart attack / stroke / cancer / major accident if no American children can any longer afford to become doctors?). Sure: not all should go to college, but SOME should. CONCLUSION: Three issues must be addressed concerning President Biden's latest Executive Order, invoking HEROES: ((1)) Standing ; ((2)) The merits / legality of his Executive Order ; and, ((3)) The Doctrine of Mootness. ((1)) STANDING: As shown above, challenging ANY Executive Order is incredibly difficult (if not impossible) to overcome when asserting legal standing. Perhaps one notable exception was an order regarding former President Obama s unilateral executive amnesty of 5 million illegal immigrants, which was scheduled to begin in February 2015: Federal judge Andrew Hanen (Southern District of Texas) ruled that  at least one of the 26 states challenging the president s executive order had legal standing to challenge the executive order in court, according to one news report. However, even this federal judge  did not rule that the president s executive order was illegal or unconstitutional, though he suggested as much in his long opinion, describing the unilateral action as,  in effect, a new law. He wisely confined his ruling to the violation of the Administrative Procedures Act, and properly avoided a constitutional issue the resolution of which was not essential for his injunction to issue.

But, does he have similar legal authority under HEROES (which President Biden invoked in his recent, controversial, Executive Order)? In order of publication date, below are the five (5) key legal memos in question. However, without going into the  weeds of the legal argument, the crux of these legal analyses is this:  did the pandemic harm students? Granted, some are saying that the pandemic is over, and using this as a legal argument against Biden's application of HEROES. But this fails to consider that even **if** the pandemic is over, nonetheless, the various unfixed harms caused by it are not over. So, as one legal scholar might say, there is a  colourable legal argument that President Biden was well-within his legal rights to apply cite the HEROES Act as his legal authority to cancel federally-held student debt:  HYPERLINK "https://www.Google.com/search?&q= colourable+legal+argument"https://www.Google.com/search?&q= colourable+legal+argument  Below are five (5) legal memos that engage this point of law, but even if Biden lacked legal authority under HEROES, this issue is legally moot: He has fully, plenary, and complete legal authority under 1965HEA, as the next section will show: ((i)) Letter to Sen.

LINK:  HYPERLINK "https://www.Merriam-Webster.com/legal/mootness doctrine"https://www.Merriam-Webster.com/legal/mootness%20doctrine Study.com gives and even better definition:  The legal definition of moot is the presence of a non-disputable or irrelevant issue. In a court setting, this means an issue that has not been officially decided on, and cannot be decided on constitutional basis by the court. In other words, moot can refer to a case where an issue did exist but has been resolved or dismissed. No court has made a declaration on either side, so the issue is ''moot''. Moot is also used colloquially to refer to a point that is irrelevant or no longer has significance. The root of the word comes from the old English, motian, which generally means to meet with, to discuss, or to argue. (Bold and italics in original; not altered in this quote) LINK:  HYPERLINK "https://Study.com/academy/lesson/mootness-legal-definition-doctrine.html"https://Study.com/academy/lesson/mootness-legal-definition-doctrine.html The 2ND definition encompasses both non-disputable and irrelevant issues. While it is more-easily disputed that HEROES can still apply to Biden's recent executive order, no honest legal scholar can dispute the 1965 Higher Education Act, as discussed above, as giving full and complete legal authority to any president to cancel any or ALL federally-held student debt. (To put in another way, many have said that the president can't do what he did, and that Congress would have to  pass a law to allow Biden to act. However, too bad for those making this argument: Congress has already passed such a law: the 1965HEA.) Thus, were I a Federal judge hearing this case, no matter my feelings on the efficacy or wisdom of Biden's actions, I would have to rule in his favour (were some party to have standing and the case be heard on the merits): Since Biden has full authority to do what he did, then his application of HEROES is quite moot: He has the legal authority to cancel any/all federally-held student debt (but not private debt) using Executive Action, not unlike how President Obama did with immigration (and as discussed above). This begs the question: Why did Biden reply on (the weaker) HEROES, instead of the 1965HEA? Some speculate that he wanted it to fail, but that is mere speculation, and outside the scope of this narrow legal review. Lastly, the other  mootness issue that needs to be addresses is this: Even IF Biden is allowed by the courts to cancel the debt in question, this is no  long-term solution. (What about future students who will see obscenely unaffordable costs of college? What about the specter of taxpayers being harmed by this as colleges/universities  rape both students and taxpayers, as discussed above?) Thus, no matter the outcome of court action regarding President Joe Biden's recent HEROES  student debt cancellation Executive Order, this matter is -- in the grand scheme of things -- really  moot : His action does nothing to address obscenely unaffordable  costs of college, and -- while not all Americans should go to college, nonetheless, some should. And if practically NO ONE can afford American Higher Education, anymore, who will operate on you should you have a heart attack, cancer, nasty accident, stroke, or debilitating disease? (Stop and meditate on that for a while.) Thus, the initial calls for restoration of Constitutional Bankruptcy Uniformity (Art.I, Sec.8, cl.4, U.S. Const.), should be heeded, as -- outside of an unlikely miracle -- only the Conservative Free Market checks/balances of the  threat of bankruptcy discharge can  tamp down profligate and egregious excessive loan originations by the Dept of Education (lest we crash the dollar!), and perhaps we need to pass the following  bipartisan student loan bankruptcy legislation before Democrats go on Christmas break, thereby losing control: S.2598, H.R.9110, and, for private student loans, H.R.4907. I would add that Sen. Rick Scott's S.4772 claw-back bill and Rep.
