So, this bill passed Congress? cool. That's a step forward. What was the vote there?
The bill passed narrowly through Congress. While Trump has authority to undo certain regulations enacted under Obama, the Title X rule required a joint resolution of disapproval by the House and Senate and agreement from the president. The legislation passed the Senate last month after Vice President Mike Pence issued a tie-breaking vote. - Source
