Following the Supreme Court's rejection of President Biden's student loan forgiveness program, his administration's pursuit of alternative avenues has drawn sharp criticism. Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen condemned the move as an "unconstitutional" overreach of executive power on "America's Newsroom." Thiessen argued that Biden's attempt to bypass both the Supreme Court and Congress by using executive action to allocate substantial taxpayer funds is a grave threat to democratic principles.

Thiessen emphasized that the Constitution grants Congress the sole authority to control government spending. He questioned Biden's justification for believing he could unilaterally spend half a trillion dollars without congressional approval. Thiessen pointed out that even with Democratic control of both houses of Congress and the White House, Biden lacked sufficient support to pass the plan legislatively, highlighting the undemocratic nature of the president's actions.

President Biden has publicly stated that the Supreme Court "misinterpreted the Constitution" in its ruling against his student loan plan. He announced subsequent adjustments to student loan policies following the Court's decision, which deemed the cancellation of over $430 billion in student loan debt unlawful under federal law.
