Rep. Kat Cammack introduced the Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny Act earlier this year, and it is set to be voted on soon. The bill targets rulemaking from the executive branch and would mandate that every new “major rule” proposed by federal agencies must be approved by both the House and Senate before going into effect.
Cammack said that her bill is designed to hand back Congress its Article 1 authority to legislate the proposed rules and regulations that meet the criteria for major changes. She said giving Congress that power is particularly important now because the “hyper-partisan” Biden administration has been using rulemaking so aggressively.
But President Joe Biden then vetoed the override and there wasn’t enough support in Congress to overturn Biden’s decision, meaning that the Labor Department rule moved forward. Crews said that rulemaking under Biden has been especially excessive. While former President Barack Obama famously threatened that he could wield the power of the pen and then phone to produce executive action aside from Congress, Crews contends that the administrative state under Biden has been even busier.
Critics argue that the REINS Act would also be redundant and is an affront to the separation of powers. Despite the gridlock, the REINS Act is a clear signal that Republicans want to act on tearing down the administrative state. Rep. Kevin Hern , the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, told the Washington Examiner that his whole support is behind the push.
