Under the Congressional Review Act, Republicans wiped out a wave of last-minute regulations pushed through before Trump took office. The Trump White House and its allies are now touting the legislative victories in the run-up to Saturday -- 13 times, Trump joined with the Republican-controlled Congress to undo rules issued under his predecessor. However, in 1983, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the process unconstitutional and CRAs emerged as a quick way for Congress to overturn recent rules. The CRA now gives Congress 60 legislative days to review new regulations. Prior to the Trump White House, the CRA had been used only once to overturn a rule.
