Biden Races to Trump-Proof His Agenda

Less than four weeks after taking office, President Trump, his senior White House aides and a group of Republican lawmakers gathered in the Oval Office to sign a resolution that killed an obscure Obama-era energy regulation. In the following months, Trump would sign more than a dozen similar resolutions, undoing a raft of Obama administration regulations on everything from unemployment to education. The effort was made possible by Trump’s unprecedented use of a 1996 law called the Congressional Review Act, which allows a new president, with the help of allies on Capitol Hill, to quickly eliminate regulations put in place in the final months of the previous administration.
