•      "Under current law, each CRA resolution may address only one regulation. The Midnight Rules Relief Act would scrap that restriction for rules issued in the final year of a President’s term. An unlimited number of such rules could be bundled in a single resolution, without any increase in the maximum debate time.8 In other words, Congress would be able to eliminate a thousand rules—rules that federal agencies deemed necessary to benefit the public and spent months, if not years, crafting—in the same 10 hours that are currently required to eliminate one rule."

•      "The proposed legislation is based on a fatally flawed premise—namely, that regulations which are proposed or finalized during the so-called 'midnight' rulemaking period are rushed and inadequately vetted. In fact, the very opposite is true. [...] Unlike the CRA’s expedited procedures, agency rules are subjected to myriad accountability mechanisms, and, for each rule, the agency must articulate a policy rationale that is supported by the rulemaking record and consistent with the requirements of the authorizing statute. In contrast, members of Congress do not have to articulate a valid policy rationale—or any rationale at all—in support of CRA resolutions of disapproval. Quite simply, they can be, and often are, an act of pure politics. H.R. 115 (now H.R. 77) would make the situation even worse."
