Senate GOP set to overturn Biden regulations

 The Hill:

Senate Republicans, waiting for their House counterparts to figure out their strategy on border security and tax reform, are planning to use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to wage a lightning war on regulations implemented by the Biden administration over the past six months.

Senate GOP leaders say their first priority will be to confirm President-elect Trump’s Cabinet nominees but then they will move quickly to passing CRA resolutions to overturn an array of the Biden-era regulations.

But they need to act quickly on the deregulatory front, because a joint resolution disapproving of Biden-era rules needs to be introduced under strict time requirements.

Republican lawmakers introduced 67 resolutions of disapproval to roll back regulations implemented under President Obama during Trump’s first year in office in 2017. Trump signed 16 of those resolutions of disapproval into law that year.

Republican lawmakers are hoping to recreate that assault on Biden-era regulations in the weeks ahead, but the biggest problem right now is figuring out which ones to target, given limited Senate floor time.

“It’s a target-rich environment,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said. “I think the most important thing is for us to have sort of internal discussion and prioritization.

The resolutions are filibuster-proof if Senate Republicans advance them within the first 60 session days of the 119th Congress. Those are calendar days when the Senate is in session. After that window, the special procedural protection expires.

Biden implemented several regulations and policies, resulting in runaway inflation in his first year in office.  He continued that assault on the US economy in his last few months in office.  They are some of the reasons why Biden is seen by many as the worst president in history.
