It’s looking like the President can ask the The Secretary of Education to do it. I just found the text and controll-f’ed section 432 that says the secretary may :
“enforce, pay, compromise, waive, or release any right, title, claim, lien, or demand, however acquired, including any equity or any right of redemption.”

SCOTUS already said he can’t. Not sure why you don’t consider that a legal analysis.

I will chalk this up to I don’t know. Doesn’t appear to be enough info for a laymen to make a decision.
