That's the wrong question. It was never if they had "intention of going through with it," it was about if they would be able to pull it off. The GGP stated "This was doomed to fail from the beginning and I bet they knew it," and I have to agree. Their plan to push this through purely via executive action was doomed to fail.

It failed due to the GOP, which didn’t exactly vote favorably on any measures related to this when they did have a chance.

Do you REALLY think an executive order had any chance of succeeding? Think about it for a minute. You think the SC would be ok with the president having the ability to forgive loans on a whim?

Did you look at how the house and senate voted on these matters?
