FIRST ON FOX: Nearly 100 House Republicans signed onto a letter
to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., calling on her to hold
President Biden accountable for his $500 billion student debt
handout.

Georgia Republican Rep. Jody Hice led the spicy letter with 93
of his colleagues to Pelosi demanding the speaker take action to
hold the president accountable for his taxpayer-funded student
debt handout.

"Speaker Pelosi explicitly stated in July of 2021 that President
Biden �does not have the power,� to cancel federal student loan
debt. �That has to be an act of Congress,'" Hice said in a press
release exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital. "I�m demanding
that Speaker Pelosi decisively act and stand by her previous
statement � a direct repudiation of President Biden�s executive
overreach yesterday."

"President Biden is a desperate politician," Hice said. "His
plan to transfer $300 billion of debt onto the backs of
hardworking American taxpayers is a politically craven stunt
that makes a mockery of our Constitution and the rule of law."

"Speaker Pelosi has a choice to make," the Georgia Republican
added. "Will she cave to the President�s shockingly illegal act
or will she back up her own words by taking swift action?"

The group of nearly 100 GOP lawmakers wrote in the letter
exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital that they are
"concerned with the massive executive overreach" by Biden "to
illegally cancel federal student loan debt."

The lawmakers pointed to the move�s $300 billion taxpayer-funded
price tag and warned the president�s plan "will drive up the
cost of higher education, exacerbating the very problem
President Biden pretends to address."

"Noticeably absent from the President�s plan is any plausible
legal authority to implement such a policy," Hice and his
colleagues wrote. "The legislative and executive branches each
possess defined powers under the Constitution."

"No provision of the Constitution nor any act of Congress,
including the Higher Education Act, grants President Biden or
the Secretary of Education the authority that they falsely claim
to wield through this unilateral action," the letter continued.

The Republicans pointed to Pelosi�s own statement from July
2021, saying "thankfully" the speaker "expressed her agreement"
with the GOP when she warned Biden did not have the
constitutional authority to cancel student debt.

"People think that the President of the United States has the
power for debt forgiveness, he does not," Pelosi said. "He can
postpone, he can delay, but he does not have that power. That
has to be an act of Congress."

"Although we may disagree on many things, your statement in July
2021 was correct," the Republicans wrote. "President Biden�s
student loan giveaway is unconstitutional and illegal."

"Given your previously stated position and your leadership role
as Speaker of the House, it is imperative that you act
immediately in defense of our Constitution and the powers of the
legislative branch," they continued.

The Republicans asked if Pelosi would "commit to supporting" her
previous statement "with definitive action to stand up to this
blatant overreach President Biden is enacting," further noting
the president�s "move transcends the policies surrounding
student loans."

"This is an illegal act by a President desperate for a political
win," Hice and his Republican colleagues concluded the letter.
"We hope you will heed your own words and act to defend the
Constitution and rule of law."

Joining Hice on the letter are 93 Republican House members
including Reps. Austin Scott of Georgia, Ashley Hinson of Iowa,
French Hill of Arkansas, and House Republican Conference chair
Elise Stefanik of New York.

Pelosi's office did not immediately respond to Fox News
Digital's request for comment.

Washington has been abuzz with bipartisan furor since Biden
announced his taxpayer-funded $500,000,000,000 student loan
handout on Wednesday. Initially, the cost estimate was $300
billion, but the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget
(CRFB) adjusted the number in a new analysis.

Since the announcement, the White House has been deafeningly
silent on how Biden�s decision to cancel between $10,000 to
$20,000 in student debt for some Americans will be paid over the
long run and whether it will drive tax bills higher even for
average Americans.

Fox News Digital asked the administration about a new analysis
from the National Taxpayers Union Foundation estimating that the
student loan handout will cost the average U.S. taxpayer more
than $2,000. The fiscally conservative think tank, in
particular, says the federal government will need to figure out
a way in the future to make up for the forgiven loans, whether
it be spending cuts or tax hikes. Much of it, the group
predicts, will be via the latter.

The White House did not respond to questions about the report or
if it was eyeing future tax hikes to make up for Biden's student
loan handout.

Lol!

Republicans only complain about debt when it's Democrats doing the
spending.

LOL!

Fwiw, I'd much rather see students with modest incomes (125k is too
high a cap) get debt relief than to see businesses allowed to lie
about it.
