It begins: House fires up process for Obama rules rollback
The bill would allow Congress to roll back en masse any rule issued in President Obama‘s final year, using a disapproval resolution under the previously little-used Congressional Review Act.
“The EPA alone has promulgated $1 trillion worth of rules in the past 10 years, 75 percent of which came under the Obama administration,” the conservative group Freedom Works asserted in hailing the bill’s passage.
“Congress has the opportunity to reclaim its legislative authority by directly challenging federal bureaucrats through legislation that curtails the power wrongfully claimed by the executive branch.”
