Getting rid of that was Bill Clinton's greatest accomplishment.
Actually, Clinton was p!$$ed that it was part of the highway bill back in 1995/1996 and mentioned it as well. But he signed the bill so construction workers would not be unemployed. Clinton was in favor of the NMSL and his wife when she was senator from NY wanted to bring back 55 as well.
I remember when the 55 mph repeal passed the house and I watched cBS news and I remember Dan Rather was going off on the repeal. Just had to watch to see the reaction ! It was what I expected.

>> As mentioned before, when there was a movement to get rid of the 55 mph speed limit, he supported keeping it.
