Some Democrats from coal-producing states have joined Republican leaders in opposing the plan, citing its impact on jobs.
As one method of thwarting the rule, Republican House leaders are considering blocking funding for the EPA.
Obama has used other commencement addresses this year to detail his policy commitments.
Speaking last month at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, Obama laid out a postwar strategy for a more targeted approach to the threat of terrorism while moving away from unilateral military action and proposed a $5 billion fund for military counterterrorism operations.
Before his speech yesterday, Obama attended a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee at Laguna Beach home of Anne Getty Earhart, an environmental activist who is a granddaughter of the late oil-company founder J. Paul Getty.
The event, described as a roundtable discussion and closed to the press, included 25 donors each contributing up to $32,400, according to a DNC official who spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to make a statement.
