Last week, at the end of an otherwise dramatic day on Capitol Hill, the Senate managed to pull off something of a twist ending: the repeal of the CFPB’s arbitration rule via a Senate vote that invoked the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to prevent the rule from ever going into effect – and to prevent any consideration of a similar rule change for the next five years.
The vote came down to a 50-50 tie that was broken by Vice President Mike Pence.
