The gop will have control of the house, the senate and the white house. We have you covered on everything you need to know about this transition. So here are four things to know. As we mentioned, first on the agenda is repealing the Affordable Care act. Republicans hope to accomplish that in the first 100 days of Donald Trumps presidency. Lawmakers plan to unlock reconciliation. That means individual committees will write repeal bills that will later be introduced to the full chamber. And prepare for a partisan showdown during the confirmation hearings on tt downtowns cabinet. Democrats have their eye on Rex Tillerson. They plan to scrutinize his tax returnes and tie toes russia. But it may not make much of a difference. A 2013 rule passed by states trumps nonsupreme Court Nominees will only need a simple majority to be confirmed. The 115th congress will vote to restrict the office that investigates congressional misconduct in the house. The vote essentially gives oversight and investigative powers to the lawmakers themselves. The office will no longer release investigative information to the public, consider anonymous complaints or consider suspicious activity from before 2010. Today, joe biden will swear in the senators. Republicans will have a 5248 advantage in the senate. In the other chamber, the house is expected to reelect had paul ryan as speaker. Once hes sworn in, ryan will administer the oath to the house members. The gop will hold a large 241194 majority in the house. And among the lawmakers being sworn in today are democrats Anthony Brown and jamie raskin from maryland. The two incoming congressmen sp w they say they are had aware of the immense challenge in in front of them. Brown and raskin expect fights other Corporate Tax cuts, environmental regulations and the Affordable Care act. I think the president is going to help us to get that message out there and were going to have to put strong on republican members of congress who represent tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people who depend upon these programs. Repeal and replace is not the answer and thats obviously going to be on the table.
