Rep. Mo Brooks has officially cosponsored legislation offered by Rep. Andy Biggs, which would nix President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate, stopping the federal government from requiring employers to require vaccines or implement weekly testing programs.
"Joe Biden claims the U.S. Constitution empowers a president to mandate vaccines. He is wrong. Under the Constitution, states, not the federal government have that power," Brooks said in a statement, challenging anyone to "Identify a provision in the U.S. Constitution that unambiguously gives Joe Biden or the federal government the authority he arrogantly claims."
Biden announced the federal vaccine mandate during a divisive speech on the Chinese coronavirus, in which he lectured unvaccinated Americans for refusing to get the shot thus far.
As a result of Biden's announcement, 24 Republican attorneys general sent a letter to Biden, warning their intention to take legal action if his "Dangerous and counterproductive" plan becomes a reality.
Notably, in August, Biggs introduced legislation prohibiting businesses receiving federal coronavirus relief funds from mandating vaccines for their workers.
Now companies are bullying those same tax-paying employees into taking a vaccine that they may not be comfortable with.
"My bill will stop those companies from enforcing those mandates by requiring them to return the relief funds they received if they don't allow their employees to make their own personal health care decisions," he added.
