President Joe Biden's plan to waive student loan debt for people making less than $125,000 or families earning less than $250,000 annually has faced an uphill battle since his Aug. 24 announcement. that Biden's action is allowable under a 2003 law, known as the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act, which authorizes the executive branch to overhaul student loan programs.

Pittman in Texas called Biden's plan a "complete usurpation" of congressional authority by the executive branch and rejected the Biden administration's arguments that it has authority to act under the HEROES Act.
