RETURN POWER TO CONGRESS
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, during the failed Biden-
Harris administration, Federal agencies were allowed to drastically
expand power, undermining the legislative authority of Congress.
Currently, the process for Congress to pass resolutions on an agency
policy it disapproves of slows the ability of Congress to block
destructive regulations, destroying jobs.
This week, House Republicans will vote on the Midnight Rules Relief
Act, led by Congressman Andy Biggs. The bill allows Congress to
disapprove of multiple policies through one resolution when those rules
were issued during the last year of a Presidential term.
Ultimately, the bill will provide Congress with the necessary tools
to reject regulations, protecting democracy and creating jobs.
In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism
continues. Open borders for dictators put all Americans at risk of more
9/11 attacks as warned by the FBI. Trump will reinstitute existing laws
to protect American families with peace through strength.
I thank legitimate President Salome Zourabichvili of Georgia for
protesting the rigged presidential election in Georgia.
