House passes bill to overturn midnight regulations en masse

House passes bill to overturn midnight regulations en masse
By Lydia Wheeler - 01/04/17 05:07 PM EST

Legislation to allow Congress to repeal in a single vote any rule finalized in the last 60 legislative days of the Obama administration sailed through the House Wednesday, the second time in less than two months.
 
The GOP-backed Midnight Rule Relief Act, which passed the previous Congress in November, was approved largely along party lines by a vote of 238-184 on the second day of the new Congress, despite Democratic opposition.
 
If passed by the Senate and signed by President-elect Donald Trump, the legislation would amend the Congressional Review Act to allow lawmakers to bundle together multiple rules and overturn them en masse with a joint resolution of disapproval.

Good start!

So far I think things are heading in the right direction. I love how the Pubs came right out and emphasized that obamacare will be repealed by 2/20/17.

My guess is that Schumer will filibuster.

There always a law of unintended consequence that is attached to legislation like this.

Republicans should be careful that this doesn't come back to bite them in the ass.

I think they are trying to time this as to where it's on his desk the day he is sworn in.
