Moreover, it lacks the support of the American people, which is why Obama administrationnegotiators insistedon includingwatered-down language to avoid having to bring the agreementbefore the Senate for approval. Sadly, this failure of leadership is par for the course for this administration. President Obamas unlawful regulations put forth by the EPA have no support in Congress and, like the Paris deal, will make little to no difference in reducing global emissions. These regulations will only raise domestic energy prices and hurt the pocketbooks of American families. Senator Hatch was a cosponsor of the two resolutions of disapproval that passed the Senate with bipartisan support. Senator Hatch also signed a letter to the President affirming that any binding climate agreement made in Parismust be brought before Congress for approval. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
