Regulations From the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2011

Dec. 7, 2011 | H.R. 10
The bill would restrict the Obama Administration from functioning efficiently by allowing "major" rules issued by agencies to take effect only if Congress votes to enact them with a joint resolution. The Republican-backed bill was intended to hamstring the Administration's decision-making capabilities. The bill was approved.

This is Bad for working people.
