Senator Mike Braun’s formal challenge to President Biden’s vaccine mandate for private businesses under the Congressional Review Act passed the U.S. Senate by a bipartisan vote on Tuesday.
This challenge was supported by the entire Senate Republican Conference, joined by Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Jon Tester. Congressman Fred Keller (Pa.-12) introduced the same resolution in the House of Representatives, which has been cosponsored by every House Republican.
The Congressional Review Act is the official process for Congress to eliminate an Executive Branch rule.
Braun
“No one should be forced to choose between getting a vaccine and losing their job,” Sen. Braun said. “The bipartisan Senate passage of my challenge to President Biden’s vaccine mandate on private businesses sends a crystal-clear message to the White House: Back off, and stop this crazy federal overreach. Now, following this bipartisan victory in the Senate, we look to the House of Representatives for five Democratic Representatives who will stand up for small business owners and the rights of their constituents against this big government-gone-wild mandate.”
