Harry Reid delivered the bad news to the White House: President Obama’s hopes for the Senate to approve a historic cap-and-trade bill were dead.
Even with a near-supermajority of 59 seats, opposition in Obama’s own party ahead of the 2010 midterm elections meant the bill had no chance of passage, the Senate Democratic leader said.
It was a tough blow for a White House that was beginning to realize the limits of Obama’s power after the long battle over ObamaCare.That fight itself had complicated plans for the president and then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on climate change. A few months later, Democrats would be swept from their House majority in what the president described as an electoral “shellacking.”
But on climate change, Obama already had a backup plan in the works that would end up defining much of his second term, according to Carol Browner, who was Obama’s climate czar.
That plan was to use the president’s regulatory authority under the Clean Air Act to limit carbon dioxide from power plants, something Obama’s opponents say is so novel it’s illegal.
“You pick yourself up and move on, because there was another path, and we were already on it,” she said of the news from the Nevada senator. “And we knew that.”
Those power plant rules, which the administration is now rushing to complete, became leverage in Obama’s successful effort to finish an international climate deal in Paris late last year — a part of his legacy years in the making.
Obama’s critics argue that the shift to regulations points to Obama’s
shortcomings: an inability to negotiate with Congress and a reliance on executive action they say is unconstitutional.
