D-1.1 John Naples v United States

Naples v. United States, (2021), was a U.S. Supreme Court decision that defined the scope of the Presidents power to forgive student loans and how it relates with respect to the Budgetary and oversight powers of Congress. The dispute in involved the legality of President Sean's Executive action forgiving all student loans up to $80,000. The Daniels Administration cited the Higher Education Acts of 1956 and 2008 which granted the Secretary of Education the ability to forgive student loans, while the Petitioner John Naples argued that this statute was Unconstitutional because it amounted to a delegation of legislative power. In its ruling, the Supreme Court established firstly the Constitution does prevent congress from delegating legislative power, but found that no legislative power was delegated by the Higher Education Acts.
