(Greg Nash)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The House failed to override Biden\u2019s veto of a resolution that sought to repeal a rule from the administration that targets environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing. The GOP-led House approved the resolution in February and the Senate narrowly cleared it one day later, leading Biden to issue his first veto.<\/p>\n<p>Biden issued his second veto on April 6, rejecting a resolution both chambers approved that would undo the Biden administration\u2019s clean water regulations. The House will vote on a veto override next week, a spokesperson for House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) confirmed to The Hill, but it will likely fall short of the two-thirds majority needed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"March_23_Lawmakers_grill_TikTok_CEO\"><\/span><strong>March 23:\u00a0Lawmakers<\/strong> grill TikTok CEO<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"787\" src=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/chewshou_032323ag14_w.jpg?w=900\" alt=\"TikTok CEO Shou Chew\" class=\"wp-image-3935970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/chewshou_032323ag14_w.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/chewshou_032323ag14_w.jpg?resize=160,90 160w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/chewshou_032323ag14_w.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/chewshou_032323ag14_w.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/chewshou_032323ag14_w.jpg?resize=1280,720 1280w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/chewshou_032323ag14_w.jpg?resize=645,363 645w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/chewshou_032323ag14_w.jpg?resize=320,180 320w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/chewshou_032323ag14_w.jpg?resize=256,144 256w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/chewshou_032323ag14_w.jpg?resize=512,288 512w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/chewshou_032323ag14_w.jpg?resize=640,360 640w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/chewshou_032323ag14_w.jpg?resize=876,492 876w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/chewshou_032323ag14_w.jpg?resize=960,540 960w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/chewshou_032323ag14_w.jpg?resize=50,28 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 899px) 100vw, 876px\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew speaks during a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing\u00a0entitled \u201cTikTok: How Congress Can Safeguard American Data Privacy and Protect Children from Online Harms\u201d on March 23.
