Khan's announcement of the now-vacated rule said that too many "businesses make people jump through endless hoops just to cancel a subscription. The FTC's rule will end these tricks and traps, saving Americans time and money. Nobody should be stuck paying for a service they no longer want."

Good thing representatives only have to tell their constituents why this is bad. No need to take it all the way to voters.

They asked about including it in the title, not the subtitle.
