Loathing and Loving the Congressional Review Act

Subtitle: Deconstruct the Administrative State.
Newt Gingrich’s 1996 Congressional Review Act (CRA) is a Constitutional counterthrust to an unconstitutional fact of life. Presented in the form of regulations, the executive branch writes most of the rules we live under, in violation of Article I § 1.
Loathing the CRA. In this inverted reality of legislative power, unelected bureaucrats write the laws for the nation. Agencies do not submit proposed regulations for congressional approval. Instead, in our corrupted system, regulations go into effect unless congress and the president stop them! I loathe the CRA because, without saying, it elevates regulations to the level of Article I law. Like statutory law, regulations are only repealed upon a majority vote of congress, with presidential approval. The difference is that the senate cannot filibuster a CRA bill, AND congress has only sixty legislative days to consider a CRA action from the date of submission of the rule from the issuing agency to congress.

well thank the Lord for this: "As of May 10th, congress and President Trump overturned fourteen rules, one of which required the states to submit extensive data on the quality and outcomes of their newly credentialed K-12 teachers. At an estimated of cost of ‘only’ hundreds of millions of dollars spread across fifty states, this otherwise unnoticed and typical regulatory burden would be in effect today were it not for the CRA."
Trump is doing some good, but no president is in office for long.
We need to stop this UN-Constitutional regulatory burden.
