President Joe Biden is threatening to veto a House resolution that aims to dismantle his student-debt relief plan, which is currently ensnared in legal challenges.

The Republican-led House Education and the Workforce committee, in a party-line vote, approved a resolution earlier this month to nullify the Biden administration’s plan to allow for a one-time cancellation of as much as $20,000 in student loan debt and to reduce monthly repayments based on income.
