Over 100 Republican lawmakers sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) this week to consider legislation to “nullify” President Biden’s vaccine mandate for American workers.
As CBS News reported, the Senate voted Wednesday to overturn Biden’s mandate – which included mandatory vaccinations and testing requirements for businesses with 100 or more employees. Democratic Senators Joe Manchin (WV) and Jon Tester (MT) joined Republicans to vote to rescind the mandates.
The letter, led by Rep. Fred Keller (R-PA) and Re. Darrell Issa (R-CA), called on Pelosi to consider the legislation in the House of Representatives. Furthermore, they described the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate for workers as “unacceptable and unlawful overreach” by the government and said it raises “serious constitutional concerns.”
