This seems a bit unnecessary as they could do it anyway.
Also I am pretty sure Donald Trump will be changing a lot of regulations made over the last 8 years. Fact is I hope so anyway.
There are probably thousands of them. May take a while to figure out which ones to get rid of.
gawd...it's hard to describe how deeply satisfying it is to see your angst on public display.

But the right people voted for Trump. You know the ones that count because they are among those who make a difference.
Some regulations are difficult to undo, lots of notice and public input requirements.
...as our Constitution allows by the will of the people from the States that voted for him.

Because that's not only how it works, but how they campaigned. Hillary got a buttload of votes from California and New York. If there was a chance Trump could have won their Electoral votes, he would have campaigned there more heavily. They both ran their campaigns based on it.
But understand this - even with this "popular vote" - which as others have observed is like adding up all the runs in each game of the World Series - it's still less than one half for Hillary and less than that considering the large number that did NOT vote (which is always true).
The country elected Trump. All of those Blue Wall states could have gone to Hillary, but they didn't. If Trump was such a buffoon, it would have been closer to 90 percent for Hillary and people who don't vote would have shown up. They didn't. The nation elected him. They chose the "buffoon" over Hillary. As I said before, it's like being picked last for basketball behind a blind quadriplegic. It means - you suck.

Which means Trump is a genius- a better strategist and much better tactician- which obviously means he has more and better presidential qualities than his opponent.
Anyone can win the popular vote, but the President will use the strategy that gives him the win.

Something tells me that Trump actually got the popular vote, too.

With all of the fraud, being outed on various channels, and the proof that a whole lot of "DEAD" people voted; if you take out all of the frauds, popular vote...I am sure Trump won. So say what you want.. the Fraud was there in various states, even the sitting President told the illegals to vote as NOTHING will happen to them.. And I did not bring up the Va Governor that gave what 7000 FELONS back their right to vote and pusued the democrap way...!! What a total fiasco in the voting ranks...This is why the ELECTORAL VOTE was made and passed and elected our newest President.. So you CRY BABIES (and you know WHO you are) get over and STFU!!

Well
1. I don't care. Trump won and there is no "popular" vote. There is only an aggregate vote from different states which is meaningless.
2. Without data substantiating the claim, I have no reason to believe it. It doesn't matter if I think it's still true, without proof it is also meaningless.

To be meaningful, wouldn't this legislation have to become law, via a presidential signature (or presidential ignore for 10 days)?
So, the House passed legislation that will likely never see the president's desk, and if it does it will likely be vetoed, and not able to be overridden. In other words, they just wasted their time drafting, discussing, and voting on legislation known to never become law.

Very true. Good point.
That's something done quite often though. I guess they think there is some sort of symbolic points scored...

There are probably two million republicans in California alone that didn't bother to vote. Why would they, except for the odd referendum they are marginalized in voting for every candidate in every election.
