Issa Leads Congressional Colleagues Calling on Pelosi to Stop Blocking Vote Nullifying Biden Vaccine Mandate
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-50) along with Congressman Fred Keller (PA-12) and 107 of their colleagues, wrote a letter to Speaker Pelosi urging her to bring Senate Joint Resolution 29, which previously passed in the Senate, to the House Floor. The legislation would nullify President Biden’s destructive vaccine mandate for private businesses.
“The reckless and unconstitutional vaccine mandate that President Biden wants to force upon the nation threatens the jobs of millions of workers and the future of thousands of businesses in every corner of the country – and we won’t rest until they are free from it for good,” said Rep. Issa. “Speaker Pelosi is blocking a vote on this mainstream measure because she wants to shield Democrats from casting a vote of conscience. She has no interest in shielding the American people from this irresponsible mandate.”
“President Biden’s vaccine mandate violates the individual liberties of over 80 million American workers. These are the men and women who kept our economy going throughout the pandemic – now this administration wants to stop them from being able to provide for their families unless they submit to the president’s unconstitutional mandate, said Rep. Keller. “With the support of every House Republican and a bipartisan majority of Senators for our resolution to eliminate this mandate, I call on Speaker Pelosi to schedule an immediate vote on this Congressional Review Act.”
