Chairwoman Foxx on GAO Decision to Uphold Congressional Authority
March 17, 2023
Today, Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following statement on the Government Accountability Office’s (GAO) decision to defend the ability of Congress to conduct oversight on the Biden administration’s costly student loan bailout:
“Once again, the Biden Administration has failed to follow the rule of law. GAO issued a legal decision finding the Administration failed to abide by the Congressional Review Act (CRA), one of the key tools to hold the executive branch accountable for overstepping its authority. The GAO decision found the Biden federal student loan debt transfer scheme should have been submitted to Congress as a ‘rule.’
