I was wondering about this. One of the first things that came to mind is (federal) student loan relief. He can continue to pause student loan payments and interest accumulation due to COVID. There is also some speculation that he and his Secretary of Education alone can actually cancel student loans based under the Higher Education Act (Warren has advocated this stance). I'm sure such action would be challenged (somehow) up to the Supreme Court, but an adverse ruling would only serve to stir up anger towards Republicans, so, win-win in my book.
What other actions can Biden take through executive power alone that can really help our nation? I think he can maybe do something about mortgage relief for federally-backed loans as well, correct?
