Seven Republican attorneys general filed a lawsuit Tuesday against President Joe Biden’s administration over a new student loan forgiveness plan rolled out this week.
Biden announced Monday that he was rolling out the plan, which would cancel a minimum of $5,000 for over 10 million Americans with student loans, despite the Supreme Court striking down Biden’s previous initiative in June 2023. Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey of Missouri filed a lawsuit alongside Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, North Dakota, Ohio, and Oklahoma, arguing that the president’s plan was unconstitutional and “illegal.”
“With the stroke of his pen, Joe Biden is attempting to saddle working Missourians with a half trillion dollars in college debt. The United States Constitution makes clear that the President lacks the authority to unilaterally ‘cancel’ student loan debt for millions of Americans without express permission from Congress,” Bailey said in a press release. “The President does not get to thwart the Constitution when it suits his political agenda. I’m filing suit to halt his brazen attempt to curry favor with some citizens by forcing others to shoulder their debts. The Constitution will continue to mean something as long as I’m Attorney General.”
In a series of social media posts, Bailey announced:
BREAKING: I am leading a seven-state coalition in filing suit against the Biden Administration’s latest illegal student loan plan. Congress never gave Joe Biden the authority to saddle working Americans with half-a-trillion dollars in other people’s debt.
The Constitution is clear: Congress has the power of the purse, not the President. Joe Biden cannot unilaterally “cancel” hundreds of millions of dollars in student loan debt and force everyday Americans to pick up the tab.

We are targeting what the federal government calls the “SAVE” Plan, which in reality will cost Americans $475 billion – $45 billion more than its last unlawful student loan plan.
