I thank my colleague, Mr. Keller, for leading this important effort in letting the American people know that we are fighting for you. As I said since day one, folks should consult with their doctor and get the vaccine if they are able. But instead of allowing local healthcare providers and communities to instill confidence in the vaccine, the Biden administration is choosing to push a top-down government mandate, which does not work and will never work. It comes down to this: Workers across the country are facing the choice to get vaccinated or lose their job. This is the epitome of government overreach. Every American has the right to earn a living. While I believe this mandate is likely unconstitutional, I look forward to watching it continue moving through the courts. It is also our duty as Members of Congress to fight this legislatively. That is why it is important to exercise our authority under the Congressional Review Act to nullify this rule. I am proud to fight for over 80 million workers who will be impacted by this overreaching mandate by ensuring this rule has no force or effect.
