.................Midnight Regulations
“Basically, what the Obama administration tried doing on the way out the door here is kill any form of energy—other than the subsidies for solar and wind, which we are actually getting rid of over a five-year period here. . . . So we will have Democrats from energy-producing states I think vote with us on some of the regulatory overhauls, so that we can make our country the energy powerhouse that it can and should be."

5. DO IT ANYWAY!

Fuck these Nazis!

6. Actually, that's the way it has been for about a decade

Keep in mind that regulators are the executive branch's implementation of laws passed by Congress... They aren't an exclusively executive function.

What the Congressional Review Act does is delay implementation of new regulations for 60 days so that Congress can take a look at them (and theoretically check to make sure that they are consistent with the law they wrote). They have that time to vote to undo the regulation (by majority of both houses)... But the President can veto it.

So you hardly ever see it happen because the President could just veto the block... Except that he has less than 60 days left in office. So what they're saying is that they intend to override anything he does right after he's gone, because they know that Trump isn't going to give them.

12. CRA only allows for one regulation to be killed at a time. This new bill would let them package up

multiple measures into one vote.

Even though CRA is immune to filibuster, it still eats a lot of floor time, making it hard for even a determined majority like this to make a huge impact. Senate Democrats have very little incentive to go along with this scheme, it would only give them more time to cause mischief.

18. Absolutely correct

Additionally, it allows them to block things that would be politically damaging to oppose individually.

My point though, was that this isn't some violation of separation of powers or otherwise an illicit power grab. Congress definitely has a role to play in evaluating regulations that implement their own legislation.

7. That is not binding, or Constitutional

[Initech]

10. I'm starting to think the constitution doesn't matter anymore to them.

In one breath they say we should take it literally, the next they pull shit like this. God damn them.

[still_one]

11. They are a lawless, racist bunch of garbage

[riversedge]

16. +1

[Initech]

8. God damn them!!!!!

[Me.]

9. PBO Still Has Veto Power?

A regulation would have to be in the form of a bill...yes?

[Lee-Lee]

13. Trump will sign it and it's retroactive back 60 days

So they just hand it to him on Inauguration Day.

[Adrahil]

17. That would be blatantly Unconstitutional. NT

[FBaggins]

19. Not once he's out of office

They don't have to send it up for signature until after he's gone...And new regulations generally can't be published until after a 60 day wait.

14. Veto bait

Till noon Jan 20.

15. Kabuki theater

They are frantically juggling so much bullshit that they are about to lose it.
