Sounds like a novel legal idea, the problem is the Supreme Court would find some rationale for their foregone conclusions...

Edit: I wonder if he could just make the mandatory payment $0...

Even if they could just make payments $0 the next president could change it. For this to work the actual amount owed needs to be reduced somehow or its just kicking the can down the road.

To be fair, I don't imagine that would be politically conducive to being reelected.
