Much of the Biden administration's regulatory agenda could be undone if Republicans win control of the White House and Congress in November. It is at risk because of a statute called the Congressional Review Act – the CRA. This statute allows Congress to overturn federal agency rules by passing a joint resolution of disapproval under a set of expedited legislative procedures. A joint resolution under the CRA need only receive a simple majority in both chambers of Congress and cannot be filibustered in the Senate. But, because a joint resolution under the CRA must be signed into law by the President, it is susceptible to a presidential veto unless it enjoys the support of veto-proof majorities in both the House and Senate.
