Biden stands firm on water regulations, vetoes congressional attempt to undo them.

President Biden has vetoed an attempt by Congress to undo waterway pollution regulations put forward by his administration, marking the second veto of his presidency and effectively killing the attempt to nullify the water rule. The White House had previously announced that Biden would veto the congressional measure, which is unlikely to be able to get the two-thirds majority needed to override the veto. Waters that receive federal protections require permits in order for industry to carry out activities that may pollute the waters like construction or mining.
