The party-line vote marked the first time in the 55-year history of the Clean Air Act that Congress has moved to weaken the power of the landmark environmental law.
According to a reply I got when I asked that question on another thread, this is being done under the Congressional Review Act, which isn’t subject to supermajority rules.
And specifically because it was only instituted 60 days before the change in Congress. If this had been implemented before the election they couldn’t block it with a simple majority.
Is there some reason this wasn’t filibustered?
