House votes to overturn Obama’s climate rule
By Timothy Cama and Cristina Marcos, The Hill.
The House voted Tuesday to overturn President Obama’s sweeping climate change regulations for power plants in a largely symbolic move.
The mostly party-line 242-180 vote came on the second day of a two-week climate change conference in Paris.
The legislation would permanently block the main pillar of Obama’s climate agenda and of his pledge to the international community for the accord world leaders are writing in Paris. Tuesday's vote sends the measure to Obama's desk, following the Senate's November vote to pass the legislation. Obama has promised a veto to protect his climate priorities.
