Republicans Plan to Use the Congressional Review Act to Challenge Biden’s Vaccine Mandate
Forty Senate Republicans led by Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.), the ranking member of a Senate committee on employment and workforce safety, say they will use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to challenge President Biden’s new order requiring large employers to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations.
The Biden administration is expected this week to issue a new rule mandating vaccination requirements at businesses with more than 100 employees. The rule will affect as many as 80 million workers, and those who don’t comply face stiff fines.
Braun and other Republicans will attempt to force the Senate to vote on a resolution disapproving of the rule. It must be passed by the Senate and the House, both of which Democrats control, and be signed into law by the president.
