Senate votes to overturn Biden's student loan relief program

21. This is not actual "legislation"

It is a "Resolution" that "expresses disapproval" for an Executive Branch (agency) action/Rule. t

It is associated with the "Congressional Review Act" that provides a path for Congress to cherry-pick a Rule for revocation. So the cloture (filibuster) Rule doesn't apply.

However these "disapproval" resolutions rarely have any effect because the President can and usually does veto them (although if the Rule is egregious enough, Congress can often muster the votes to override the veto).

It was something started under Gingrich to try to kneecap Clinton and his Executive Branch (regulation) Rules.
