Remember when Obama did this exact thing and Trump just immediately undid it when he became president?
And all his constituents that he was screwing over cheered him for being "a smart businessman".
If I recall correctly, it got overturned by a Federal Court before Trump took office. Trump WOULD have undone it - but he didn't have to.
You do not recall correctly.

It was already done by Obama and then undone by Trump. It does not need congressional intervention.
It got overturned by a Federal Court before Trump took office. Trump WOULD have undone it - but he didn't have to.

that sounds an awful lot like not having gone anywhere.
It went somewhere, and came back. It was the law of the land for a brief time.
Imagine being told that you have to work for free because they deem you worked too many hours in a world where you can hardly make enough to pay for rent let alone buy a house.
