TL;DR Summary

Congress has approved a resolution to overturn the Biden administration's protections for the nation's waterways, which Republicans have criticized as an environmental overreach that harms businesses, developers, and farmers. The Senate voted in favor of the resolution, which uses the Congressional Review Act that allows Congress to block recently enacted executive branch regulations. President Joe Biden has promised to veto the measure. The fight over the definition of "waters of the United States" has been ongoing, with environmentalists and the Biden administration pushing to broaden the definition and protect more waterways from pollution while right-leaning groups and the Trump administration have argued that protecting fewer waterways would benefit builders, farmers, and businesses.
