Res. 9, which would have nullified his administration\u2019s rule listing the Northern Distinct Population Segment of the lesser prairie-chicken as threatened and the Southern Distinct Population Segment as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Rep. Mann introduced this resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives.\n\n\u201cOnce again, President Biden has refused to listen to Congress,\u201d said Rep. Mann. \u201cPresident Biden\u2019s unwillingness to listen to listen to Congress is one thing, but refusing to listen to America\u2019s agriculture and energy producers is unacceptable. Farmers, ranchers, and agricultural producers are the original conservationists, and their voluntary conservation efforts have proven to be effective in supporting the lesser prairie-chicken species population. At a time when record-breaking drought is crushing rural communities, crop production, and native grasslands, we need more rain, not more regulations. I urge my colleagues to band together in overturning President Biden\u2019s shortsighted veto of this joint resolution.\"\n\nOn December 22, 2022, in the 117th Congress, Rep. Mann introduced the bicameral joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to strike down the listing of the Lesser Prairie-Chicken.\n\nOn January 12, 2023, Rep. Mann led a group of his colleagues in requesting a delay of the final rule that would list the lesser prairie-chicken under the Endangered Species Act. Following this letter, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service moved the effective date from January 24 to April 1, 2023.\n\nOn February 8, 2023, in the 118th Congress, Rep. Mann led a group of his colleagues in reintroducing their joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act to strike down the listing.\n\nOn April 18, 2023, the House Natural Resources Committee\u2019s Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife and Fisheries held a hearing concerning U.S. Representative Tracey Mann\u2019s joint resolution of disapproval.\n\nOn April 28, 2023, the House Natural Resources Committee passed Rep. Mann\u2019s resolution out of committee.\n\nOn May 3, 2023, the U.S. Senate passed the resolution by a vote of 50-48.\n\nOn July 27, 2023, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the resolution by a vote of 221-206.\n\nToday, President Joe Biden vetoed the resolution.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:37:48Z"]], "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://mann.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-mann-responds-president-bidens-veto-lesser-prairie-chicken-resolution"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8728790562599897, "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"}
