What the document says

“Congress and the President should enact the Midnight Rules Relief Act”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 50

The Congressional Review Act lets Congress undo recent regulatory actions on an accelerated timetable. The chapter says the Midnight Rules Relief Act would let multiple actions be packaged and voted on together, and that robust use of the Congressional Review Act would let the President spend rulemaking capacity on new reforms rather than years undoing the previous Administration's final rules.

What the document actually says

“Congress and the President should enact the Midnight Rules Relief Act”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 50
That sentence, in plain words

Congress and the president should pass a new law. It is called the Midnight Rules Relief Act.

What this is about

A president often issues many rules just before he leaves. Congress can undo them, but only one at a time. This bill would let Congress undo them in one batch.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
