The Biden administration has either reached, or is fast approaching, the date after which Congress can vacate rules across the federal government under the Congressional Review Act should President Joe Biden lose his reelection bid in November.
While more than 80 CRA resolutions have been introduced this Congress in an attempt to repeal executive branch actions, the few to actually make it to Biden’s desk have faced vetoes, and none of those has been overridden.
However, rules finalized this summer will likely be subject to the provision, allowing Donald Trump to quickly overturn them if he’s elected president again, as his administration did numerous times in 2017.
