On Jan 26th the House passed a bill (221-205) to limit a President's authority over use of the Stratgic Oil Reserve.
I see this as something that had to be done because of Biden's actions over the past two years in his use of this reserve. As far as I'm cocerned his action of selling oil to China from this reserve was irresponsible and his release of oil to attempt to lower fuel prices was nothing more than a political stunt. On Jan 12 the House passed a bill (331-97) to restrict the release of oil from the reserve to China or affiliated entities.
The President says he will veto the bill if it gets to him that limits his power over the reserve.
