If Tuesday’s election results hold, and Democrats end up securing full control of the executive branch and both houses of Congress, they will be in a position to immediately deliver the $2,000 survival checks president-elect Joe Biden promised people would receive if the party won the two Georgia Senate races.

Democrats would also have the power to do what Republicans did four years ago: invoke a law that lets lawmakers immediately repeal recent rules enacted by the outgoing administration.

The Congressional Review Act (CRA) is a twenty-four-year-old law that allows Congress and a new president to reject the recently enacted rules and regulations from a prior administration.
