On Friday, the Supreme Court struck down President Biden's student-loan forgiveness plan.
Chief Justice John Roberts said in his opinion that the Secretary of Education wasn't the proper person to implement it.
The Supreme Court thinks it's a matter suited to the legislative branch, rather than the executive one.
"The question here is not whether something should be done; it is who has the authority to do it," Roberts concluded.
So he could potentially enact a plan to deliver relief using another law, like the Higher Education Act of 1965, which does not rely on a national emergency.
