You may be asking yourself, how is it possible that Congress could overturn a rule that has been finalized by an agency? The answer lies in the Congressional Review Act. The Congressional Review Act or CRA gives the House and Senate the ability to overturn rulemakings that have been finalized by agencies. If overturned, the agency cannot issue a “substantially similar” rule in the future without the approval of Congress.
