Biden's Brain Misfires Again, Claims Congress Passed His Student Debt Bailout "By a Vote or Two"

During his most recent mental lapse, Joe Biden forgot the circumstances surrounding his student debt bailout a mere two months after announcing it.

At the end of August, Biden announced a unilateral plan to cancel $10,000 of student debt for most borrowers (and 20k for others), which was quickly scaled back to only apply to federal student loans, and is currently held up by a lawsuit questioning its constitutionality. Just last year there wasn't much question that Biden *did not* have the ability to cancel student debt with the stroke of a pen, with even Speaker Nancy Pelosi explaining to reporters at a news conference in July 2021 that “People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not. He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress.”

But according to Biden, his bailout that did not go through Congress did go through through Congress in his mind. "You're probably aware I just signed a law that's been challenged by my Republican colleagues.... if you went to school, if you qualify for a Pell Grant you quality for...two..excuse me.... you qualify for $20,000 in debt forgiveness. Secondly, if you don't have one of those loans you get $10,000 written off. It's passed. I got it passed by a vote or two, and it's in effect," Biden recently claimed. 

Watch below:



It's unclear which fictional chamber of Congress Biden thinks he's referring to, as his bailout passing by "a vote or two" would imply that a chunk of Democrats in the House opposed the plan, or some Republicans in the Senate defected and voted for it. Of course, neither happened.
