Biden will ask DOJ to review his authority to cancel student loan debt - White HousePresident Joe Biden will ask the Department of Justice to review his legal authority to cancel student loan debt, the White House said on Wednesday, adding the president does not favor $50,000 in student loan relief without limitation.

Can you believe America EVER let someone who thinks that way be 'president'? Me neither. Refreshing to have a real, actual President who bothers to see if something's legal first.
