WASHINGTON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - The fate of President Joe Biden's plan to cancel $430 billion in student debt for about 40 million borrowers was placed in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday as the justices began hearing arguments in a case that presents another major test of executive branch authority.

The nine justices are weighing the Biden administration's appeal of two lower court rulings blocking the policy that he announced last August in legal challenges brought by six conservative-leaning states and two student loan borrowers opposed to the plan's eligibility requirements.
