Nah, thats not just. They don't need to introduce a bill to wipe this out. Biden should do it because he can and its the right thing to do.

The supreme court said he can't.

The Supreme Court said that he couldn't, because he couldn't point to "clear congressional authorization" for the cancellation program. An act of Congress not only can waive student loan debt, but is how SCOTUS said Biden would need to go about it.
