We cannot afford to have any more job-killing regulations crippling our state, our economy and our families. I will lead the charge in Congress in stopping this rule and fighting for West Virginia\u2019s jobs,\u201d Rep. Jenkins said.\nCongress does have a legislative tool, the Congressional Review Act, which it can use to overturn this rule. The Congressional Review Act allows Congress to quickly consider and vote to overturn burdensome agency rules with a simple majority vote of each chamber. When Congress invalidates a rule under the Congressional Review Act, the rule under consideration is nullified. Additionally, once invalidated, similar rules may not be issued by the agencies unless Congress explicitly authorizes it by law.\nIn November, Rep. Jenkins helped pass legislation to stop this administration \u2013 and future ones \u2013 from pushing through regulations in their last months in office. The Midnight Rules Relief Act would give Congress the authority to review and reject rules that any president issues during the final months of their terms.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://evanjenkins.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-jenkins-rule-another-example-administration-overreach"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4583319425582886, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
