How Congress Is Reclaiming Constitutional Authority and Saving Jobs
Rep. Rob Bishop / February 03, 2017
Right now, we in Congress have the chance to reset the clock, to go back to a time when policies helped people and where regulations were not used to pursue ideological aims.
This is exactly what the Congressional Review Act was designed to help ensure.
Signed into law in 1996 by President Bill Clinton, the Congressional Review Act is a powerful oversight tool enacted to prevent midnight regulations that have no business being promulgated but were pursued anyway.
In reference to the Congressional Review Act, Clinton said, “[t]his legislation increases congressional accountability for regulations.” Former Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., echoed this sentiment, stating, “[t]his legislation will help to redress the balance [between the branches], reclaiming for Congress some of its policymaking authority.”
