For years now, Americans have suffered because of the federal government’s detrimental pandemic-era telework policies. “This week, the People’s House sent a strong message to the Biden Administration: it’s time for the federal workforce to get back to work in-person for the American people. 139, the SHOW UP Act of 2023, would end teleworking for federal employees and require them to return to the office. Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer’s legislation, H.R. If the American people are expected to show up to work, federal employees should be held to the same standard. Russell Fry called out President Biden for saying that the pandemic is over but for not taking steps to return to normal. Jay Obernolte.Ĭlick here or on the image above to view Rep. Speaker, the Founding Fathers intended the Legislative Branch of government, the people's elected representatives, to be the ones that set laws for the United States of America,” said Rep. This is not what the Founding Fathers intended. But, unfortunately, the Biden Administration has recently renewed the state of emergency for a 12th time. “Congress has met hundreds and hundreds of times since the Executive Branch first declared the state of emergency, and the Congress has had abundant opportunity to pass federal legislation codifying or rejecting the President's recommendations. If President Biden chooses to end Title 42 when the COVID-19 public health emergency ends without securing the border, then that would represent another failure under the Biden Administration,” said Rep. Title 42 is at President Biden’s discretion. “To be very clear, Title 42 and the COVID-19 public health emergency are separate authorities, which means my bill to end the COVID-19 public health emergency does not end Title 42. I hope this bill also results in the Biden Administration finally producing their plans to Congress that my House Republican colleagues and I have been pressing for since last February to unwind the COVID-19 public health emergency. “It was still critical for the House to pass the Pandemic is Over Act today to ensure Congress has a vehicle to take its authority back and a way to hold President Biden accountable for ending the COVID-19 public health emergency. President Biden the night before my bill was set to be on the House floor announced that he would finally end the COVID-19 emergency declarations. The Pandemic is Over Act has moved our country forward, even before the House floor vote today. “The People’s House sent President Biden a clear message: The COVID-19 pandemic is over, and it’s time to move our country beyond operating under a perpetual emergency. 382, the Pandemic is Over Act, will officially end the COVID-19 public health emergency and President Biden’s abuse of certain emergency powers. It’s time to return to normal right now.Ĭongressman Brett Guthrie’s legislation, H.R. Larry Bucshon.Īfter facing incredible pressure from House Republicans, President Biden informed Congress on Monday that he would end the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency on May 11, 2023. I believe this move by the Biden Administration be unnecessary, inappropriate, and a net harm to our health care system as a whole,” said Rep. “At the end of 2021, when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced a decision to mandate that health care workers receive a COVID-19 vaccine to remain employed, I opposed the decision. Joe Biden’s draconian COVID authoritarianism has no place in this country, and I will continue fighting to end all of Joe Biden’s remaining COVID mandates,” said Rep. No American should ever be forced to choose between getting the COVID shot or losing their livelihood, and this bill restores medical freedom for our health care workers who served on the front lines during the pandemic. I thank my colleagues for following the science, given that the CDC has shown that the COVID shot does nothing to prevent transmission, and seeing this legislation through the finish line in the House of Representatives. “The bipartisan passage of my legislation, the Freedom for Health Care Workers Act, is a win for individual liberty. 497, the Freedom for Health Care Workers Act, ends the Biden Administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate on certain workers at health care facilities that participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. This has threatened the American people’s access to quality and timely care.Ĭongressman Jeff Duncan’s legislation, H.R. Thousands of health care workers have lost their jobs as a direct result of the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate. Here’s a recap of everything Republicans achieved on the House Floor this week:
