TL;DR Summary

The Senate voted 53-43 in favor of eliminating the Biden administration's clean water regulations, with four Democrats and one Independent siding with Republicans. The Congressional Review Act allows Congress to eliminate federal regulations with a simple majority vote and the president's signature. However, President Biden is expected to veto this measure, and supporters do not appear to have the votes to override his veto. The rule in question, known as the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule, defines which waters are subject to federal regulations.
