House fails to overturn Biden veto in effort to cancel student debt relief

House Republicans were not able to convince the two-thirds majority they needed to overturn President Biden’s veto of a resolution that would have shot down his proposal to cancel up to $20,000 of a borrower’s student debt.

The 221-206 vote on attempt to overturn Biden’s veto of a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to end the president’s debt relief plan is officially dead in the water. Beating Biden’s veto would have required two-thirds support in the House and the Senate — both of which passed the original resolution.

Earlier this year, the Government Accountability Office found Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan was subject to the CRA, which lets Congress suspend actions taken by the president.

“Let me make something really clear: I’m never going to apologize for helping working and middle-class Americans as they recover from this pandemic, never,” Biden said when he signed the veto on the resolution.

1. In between their phone calls hitting up billionaires for their brats' tuition, no doubt

"And can you get Dougie into Harvard, Paulie? He really is a smart kid - really!"

4. Good

and to hell with the type of GOP who got the vapors over Americans getting any help/

[LoisB]

5. In the eyes of Republicans, that help would go to the "wrong" Americans. Only billionaires and

fat corporations deserve any help to hear them tell it.

10. Why yes, they continually reward success and punish failure

and are completely oblivious to the fact that they need us failures around to support their lifestyles.

They have a shockingly narrow view of what constitutes success.

[LoisB]

11. You speak the truth.

[speak easy]

6. "I'm never going to apologize for helping working and middle-class Americans"

That is the man we voted for.

7. Debt relief does not hurt anyone and actually helps the economy as it means

people will have more money to spend.

8. Once the SC rules it is legal, I expect President Biden to forgive all of it.

Not just $10k or $20k, but every penny of student loan debt.

12. I doubt that

happening.

9. I like it
