People For Member,
Throughout Trump’s presidency, his administration issued a significant number of harmful rules and regulations that will disastrously impact immigration, the environment, LGBTQ protections, endangered species' habitats, workers’ rights, and more.
The good news is that some of them have yet to take effect, and some rules can be blocked from being permanently enacted. Congress can fast-track reversal of rulemakings from the Trump administration under the Congressional Review Act (CRA). But there is a catch: as of today, the CRA only applies to Trump rules created since August 2020 and the new Congress has just 60 days to act!
That’s why we must urge them to act immediately!
Sign the petition: Demand Congress act NOW to undo the damage Trump has caused! >>
Under the CRA, agencies are required to submit to Congress notice of a finalized rule. Once notified, Congress has the option of passing a joint resolution of disapproval to overturn the rule. If that passes both chambers of Congress and is signed into law by President Biden, the rule is IMMEDIATELY overturned and has no effect.
Most importantly, a joint resolution of disapproval need only pass by a simple majority in both chambers! With both houses of Congress under Democratic leadership and with a Democratic president, we can make that happen – as long as House and Senate members hear from their constituents how important it is that they vote to block the rules.
With the Congressional Review Act, Congress and President Biden have yet one more powerful tool at their disposal to undo the damage that Trump has caused to our country – let’s make sure they act quickly so we don’t lose this opportunity.
Thank you for all that you do.
