Congressman Mark Meadows (R-NC), the incoming chair of the House Freedom Caucus, met with President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday to deliver a list of regulations the new administration should consider eliminating as soon as possible.  The list, comprised of 232 regulations from every agency of the federal government, targets major initiatives from the Obama administration. 

Among the regulations proposed for elimination are the Clean Power Plan, the Clean Water Rule (Waters of the U.S.), President Obama’s Executive Orders on immigration policy, and Net Neutrality.  The House Freedom Caucus is made up of about 40 Republicans backed by the Tea-Party movement and was instrumental in ousting former Speaker of the House John Boehner.  Deregulation was a central theme of President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign but it remains to be seen exactly what regulations President-elect Trump intends on cutting.
