Members of Congress, Federal Judges, Staffers Exempt From Vaccine Mandate
The Epoch Times ^ | September 10, 2021 | Joseph Lord

Posted on 09/10/2021 7:09:39 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

On Thursday evening, President Joe Biden unveiled two executive orders that could mandate vaccinations for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus for millions of working Americans in both the public and private spheres. But absent from these mandates are similar requirements for members of Congress, federal judges, or their staffers.

Biden’s executive orders would unilaterally require vaccination for federal employees, the military, and government contractors. The president also asked Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to require that firms with over 100 employees either mandate vaccination or weekly CCP virus tests. In total, these mandates could affect over 100 million American workers, making it one of the widest-reaching vaccine mandates in world history.

Biden wrote, “It is the policy of my Administration to halt the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), including the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant, by relying on the best available data and science-based public health measures.”

The order continued, “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within the Department of Health and Human Services has determined that the best way to slow the spread of COVID-19 and to prevent infection by the Delta variant or other variants is to be vaccinated.”

In the second section, Biden lays out this rigorous policy, requiring all executive agencies to “implement, to the extent consistent with applicable law, a program to require COVID-19 vaccination for all of its Federal employees, with exceptions only as required by law.” Such exemptions are few and strictly defined.

The order would cover civilian employees of executive offices like the State Department and Department of Defense, and would also require all military personnel to receive the vaccine. In total, this no-excuses order would affect millions of civilian and non-civilian federal employees.

Prove this. You really need to have solid proof before making such an accusation.

>> executive orders

It was brought to my attention earlier that we’re talking about EOs.

How can an EO affect the private sector in this regard?

One law for us; another law for them. We the People are truly getting fed up with this double standard.

If true, this is because of separation of powers in the Constitution although this whole mandate is unconstitutional.

they will keep their civil rights.

the rest will be TRANS-humans, void of rights

TRANS-humans have two purposes.

Separation of Powers.

Laughable given it was a power grab by Biden to begin with, I know, but Congress and the judiciary would have to mandate this on themselves.

I’m not sure what your point if. Of course the point of the article is true. Executive orders can only bind the executive branch. The President has no jurisdiction to tell the legislative and judicial branches what to do with their employees. This is imposed on the public by having an executive agency, OSHA, impose a mandate in private businesses it regulates. I do t think this successfully survivors challenge, but that’s the logic of it

Really seems like anything goes. An executive order (I believe) controls actions within the Executive Branch. If he wants to control the military, or federal contractors, that may be one thing. But the Labor Department should not control companies of >100 employees just based on a EO.

And they don’t seem concerned that mandating an experimental jab for soldiers may negatively impact our national defense. But, of course, you wouldn’t want to mandate it for judges or government staff — I mean, hey, what if there were side effects?? How would we survive if those people were impacted??

This whole thing is a mess, not based on real legislation, or a real crisis, not based on due process, or equal protection under the law. It’s a naked power grab by people who stole an election.

Because the Great and Mighty Joe, leader of the prog has proclaimed it to be so.

The United Scribe Guild CNNNBCABCCBSMSNBC has transcribed the words of the Great and Mighty Joe into Law.

Obey or be cast out.

OK - who is in charge of the judicial branch? Can the Supreme Court issue an order that would apply to all federal judges?

Weaponizing OSHA as a “workaround” to statutory limitations has Rachel Levine’s manlike fingerprints all over it.
