That's not how it works. Biden pushes a executive order. Congress passes a bill to block said order. Biden veto's the bill to block said order.
The political pundits are always saying executive orders aren't a big deal because congress of the next president can overturn them, but you still need a veto proof majority in congress to overturn them.
Not technically true. Congress doesn't overturn an executive order - they create a law to codify the behavior they want. In this case they were making a law that a President can't do what POTATUS is trying to do. Biden will veto that bill.
However the next POTUS can just strike that EO and it is gone.
Presidents can't make laws but they can write EOs that are for the Executive branch. In this case he is way overstepping any presidential authority because only the House can appropriate funds. This is all a show for low-info voters to believe the Dims are trying to pay their loans.
Right, but the fact that the bill is going to be vetoed means that Biden will actually get his way, not because he isn't overstepping his presidential authority, but rather because nobody is stopping him (unless the Supreme Court rules against him).
I may have gotten some of the technical issues wrong, but the outcome is still student loan forgiveness unless the Supreme Court rules otherwise.
Yes - SCOTUS will smack him down 9-0. Exec branch can try to forgive the debt but they can't allocate money so they would have to take it from their own budget and there is no way an agency will give their budget away. It is all a show.
Uh, what does he think he's going to veto? A blank piece of paper? The bill was blocked.
Okay I thought I was retarded there for a second lol.
