The Clean Power Plan CRA resolution (S.J.Res. 24) sought to overturn the Obama-era rule limiting carbon emissions from power plants, effectively dismantling federal standards aimed at reducing greenhouse gas output from the energy sector. The measure passed both chambers of Congress, with the Senate voting 52–46, including Democratic crossovers Joe Donnelly, Heidi Heitkamp, and Joe Manchin voting Yea, while Republicans Kelly Ayotte, Susan Collins, and Mark Kirk voted Nay. In the House, it passed 242–180, with Democrats Brad Ashford, Sanford Bishop, Henry Cuellar, and Collin Peterson crossing over to vote Yea, and Republicans Bob Dold and Richard Hanna voting Nay. Despite clearing Congress, the resolution was vetoed by President Barack Obama, blocking it from taking effect.
