For the first time, Democrats deploy rarely-used law to repeal Trump-era regulations
Two business-related regulations introduced by President Trump during his last months in office were wiped off the books Thursday after the House repealed them in back-to-back votes.
The votes marked the first time that Democrats successfully used the Congressional Review Act to overturn regulations finalized in the weeks before a transfer of power.
The Trump administration and GOP-led Congress in 2017 were the first to aggressively use the law, tossing out 16 rules adopted by President Obama. Now Democrats are doing the same, albeit on a smaller scale.
A rule allowing lenders to circumvent interest rate caps was repealed 218 to 208 and a second changing what information the federal government has to provide to companies regarding discrimination settlements was disapproved 219 to 210.
