I'm confused. Is the headline 'deceptive' because it was Republicans in Congress who overturned the regulation not Trump himself?old salt wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 4:28 pmDeceptive headline, contradicted in the text of the article :dislaxxic wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 4:19 pm One Of Trump’s First Actions Reversed An Obama Rule On Guns And Mental Impairment
A Whole.Because Obama pursued the policy involving the SSA through regulation, however, Congress had an easy time overturning it once Trump assumed the White House. Thanks to a special legislative tool called the Congressional Review Act, Republicans undid more than a dozen regulations that had been finalized late in Obama’s second term.
If that's the case, surely we all know that if Trump wanted it the other way, he'd have been in the same position as Obama? Same GOP controlled House and Senate at that point, right? Change the POTUS, change the reg.
But maybe I'm not following correctly.
BTW, HuffPost deserves the same degree of skepticism as lots of sites on the right. Watch out for headlines!
