United StatesCongress would block an Education Department student loan rule

What it does
If enacted, the resolution would give the Education Department’s May 1, 2026, federal student loan rule no legal effect. It rejects the whole rule.
Argument forDisapproving the rule could give Congress a direct way to check Education Department decisions affecting federal student loans.
Argument againstRejecting the entire rule could also block useful provisions, since the resolution does not preserve any part of it.
