Congress can stop Obama’s out-of-control regulators

President Obama promised to remove “death panels” from Obamacare when it was being debated in Congress. Will the president keep his promise and sign the disapproval resolution, thereby once again making “death panels” a thing of the past? Or will POTUS veto the resolution, and prove to the American people that his word or bond means nothing when negotiating with Congress?

We should remember the few rules and timetables involved in producing a resolution to disapprove of an agency regulation under the Congressional Review Act, because I have the feeling that the use of the Congressional Review Act will become commonplace in the 112th Congress. Stay tuned.
