As President Trump implements drastic measures to reduce federal oversight, Congressional Republicans are actively repealing Biden-era regulations through the Congressional Review Act. This strategy allows for the reversal of recently adopted regulations with a simple majority in both chambers, facilitating the dismantling of rules that Republicans argue stifle businesses and consumers. By utilizing this 1996 law, they can circumvent the filibuster. This approach, reminiscent of actions during Trump's tenure, threatens to broaden the Act's application and reshape legislative processes in Congress, enabling a swift rollback of governmental regulations.
Republicans in Congress have swiftly used the Congressional Review Act to dismantle key Biden-era regulations, exploiting their majority to bypass filibuster-related gridlock.
This strategy, previously employed in Trump's first term, has the potential to fundamentally alter legislative processes and significantly widen the scope of the Congressional Review Act.
