The White House has unleashed an unprecedented surge of major new regulations as it races a moving deadline to protect much of President Biden’s agenda.
Why it matters: No president has killed more regulations using an obscure law known as the Congressional Review Act than Donald Trump, who likely would target much of Biden’s body of work if he wins this fall.
The law has been successfully invoked just 20 times since it was passed in 1996.
But the first two years of the Trump presidency — which featured GOP control of the House and Senate — account for 80% of its use.
Zoom in: The Congressional Review Act gives Congress a “lookback period” where regulations can be overturned.
