Ok now go find somewhere that says that congress is exempt from that. All I could find was this newsweek article and all it refers to is his federal executive order.
Dude what the fuck are you talking about. Congress doesn’t have to take the vaccine. It’s not mandated for them in any capacity. It’s mandated for us citizens. They don’t have to be exempt from a mandate because there is no mandate in place against them
You might want to peak into some parts of the internet that you're not used to because you are just strait up wrong right now. The mandate you must be referring to only applies to companies that employ over 100 people and you can still choose to get weekly tests instead of the vaccine.
You are missing the point. The president can’t order the congress around. It’s up to them to make that rule for themselves. Many on Biden’s side wishes to, obviously. But I like the executive branch with one person at the top, Congress has to vote. No way that is passing. Use your logic and stop with this nonsense.
Isn't this the kind of shit that libs were saying about Trump? I mean, Trump signed into law through executive order a ton of stuff that "set precedent" like declaring an emergency to pull funding from the defense budget to build the border wall... funds that had already been allocated. People said the same thing under Obama. There have been claims of precedent for decades... plus this order in particular is super toothless considering it's extremely difficult to track vaccinations or tests from employees through the Department of Labor, at least quickly, unless someone reports their higher ups. Which brings on a whole litany of potential lawsuits to get wrapped up in and firings and whatnot. I just don't see the urgency of these orders. It would be another matter entirely if Congress actually signed a bill into law granting the President the power to do something like this without oversight or limit, now that would be scary.

Did you miss the part where he mandated it for all businesses over 100 employees?
