Overview
CQ Roll Call quoted Jason Abel in a February 16 article titled “Lobbyists Worry Trump Woes Could Delay Policies.” The article discusses how some lobbyists are concerned that the Trump administration’s rocky start, could stymie major tax, health care and infrastructure policy achievements. Senate Democrats have focused on delaying nominees, while the House GOP is consumed with scrubbing regulations under the Congressional Review Act.
Mr. Abel says, “This all comes at the same time that House Republicans are really trying to push these Congressional Review Act resolutions, and they are under the clock to get those done.” Such reviews must be completed within 60 legislative days, giving Republicans perhaps until May or early June. Mr. Abel adds, “Any perceived delays in consideration can be misleading. There are a lot of behind-the-scenes activities that are occurring right now.”
