"Biden Vetoes Clean Water Act Resolution" [1]

"President Joe Biden on Thursday vetoed a Congressional Review Act resolution against the administration’s rule to define the Clean Water Act’s reach.

The legislation now heads back to Capitol Hill, where critics of the waters of the U.S., or WOTUS, rule lack enough support to override Biden’s veto despite support from several moderate Democrats in both the House and Senate.

Thursday’s veto is the second such action by the president to defend his energy and environment policies, with Republicans looking to attack the administration’s agenda and put moderate Democrats in a tough spot."
