Nancy Pelosi says the President does not have the power to forgive debt.

The Congress already gave the Dept of Ed power to cancel some debt. Says so in the higher ed act, so it is the part that says congress makes the law and the POTUS executes them.
The congress years ago passed the so called “hero’s act.” This was intended to help provide student loan relief to reservists and National guardsmen deployed.to Afghanistan and Iraq. That can not be used to transfer student debt today to the taxpayers.
 
No if wasn't.


Now there have been various programs to forgive portions of a student loan through public service or military service. That's not what Biden is proposing
If you have not noticed Biden has been forgiving student loans since 2021.
 
Last month Nancy Pelosi’s said that the president has no such authority. So, a month ago isn’t quite current, but it is recent.
I can tell you have yet to notice how much in student debt Biden has forgiven since 2021.

All a president can do is delay payments owed by individuals. Of course unless they fall under the provisions of the so called “heroes act,” and they had already been taken care of

Well you are partially correct. It can be used today as it is still law. It was not confined to those military involvements. It also was not confined to military personnel. They relied on: "or (4) suffered direct economic hardship as a direct result of a war or other military operation or national emergency." H.R.1412 - 108th Congress (2003-2004): Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act of 2003

It was meant for members of the military, not deadbeats who majored in gender studies and can't find a good job.

There's no national emergency

Then the 108th Congress should have said that. They didn't. Damn GOP screwed us again.

The meaning of the hero's act was clear. It was intended to give student loan debt relief to Reservists and National Guardsmen pulled out of their jobs and deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan .


Extending it to transfer student loan debt to non soldiers is not abiding by the law . In other words, it's illegal. Biden is committing a crime by transferring personal debt to the taxpayers

There is no national emergency . The federal government declared that the pandemic was over. That's their justification for vacating Title 42 .

No one required to pay off a student loan today is suffering a hardship due to war or other national emergency .
