The effort is part of Schumer’s efforts to hit Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for ignoring legislation passed by the Democratic House on guns, climate change, health care and other topics.

“Senator McConnell and Senate Republicans have shunned vital proposals to improve Americans’ lives,” Schumer said. “Senate Democrats will not sit around and wait for Senator McConnell to finally wake up and take action.”

The Democratic minority is able to force the regulatory votes under the Congressional Review Act, which allows regulations to be overturned by a simple majority. McConnell successfully rolled back some of Obama’s regulations at the start of 2017, though Schumer will need at least four GOP defections to chip away at Trump’s regulations, a difficult task.

The votes will likely be more of a political exercise, putting pressure on vulnerable GOP senators to break from the party line or face Democratic attacks over the next year of campaigning.

Environmental advocates and a coalition of states have already begun what’s expected to be a lengthy legal challenge to the Trump administration’s Affordable Clean Energy regulation of power plant emissions, which have been the subject of heated debate in Congress for the better part of the decade.

“The EPA has abdicated its responsibility in promulgating this deeply flawed rule and the Senate will abdicate its responsibility if it fails to repeal the ACE rule,” said Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.).

Back in 2015, the full Senate passed two resolutions largely along party lines disapproving of the centerpieces of Obama’s climate change agenda. The political calculus may be similar this time around. Moderate Republicans, including Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), broke with their party during the 2015 vote to vote against the resolutions, while coal state Democrats, like Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), backed them.
