> Can a future administration overturn this (via an FCC chairman/congressional bill)?
Yes. There is always a way to change things in the US, it just might be difficult to do so.
In short: rulemaking such as this can be overturned by new rulemaking or by new legislation. Legislation can be overturned by passing legislation to repeal it or by a court finding it unconstitutional or otherwise invalid. Unconstitutionality or other judicial precedent can be overturned by new legislation or constitutional amendment.
