President Joe Biden's new vaccine mandates for federal employees don't apply to members of Congress or those who work for Congress or the federal court system.
Biden issued two executive orders on Thursday requiring vaccination against COVID for federal workers and contractors who work for the federal government. He also asked the Department of Labor to issue an emergency order requiring businesses with more than 100 employees to ensure their workers are vaccinated or tested on a weekly basis.
However, Biden's order on federal workers applies to employees of the executive branch.

The ruling Politburo never has to obey the rules mandated for the peasants in any dictatorship!!! It's that simple.
We knew that Congress saw themselves above us mere peasants when they exempted themselves from the nightmare of Ovomitcare. So this comes as no surprise at all!!!

IIRC, CDC and NIH employees aren't required to get the vvax -it's voluntary or somesuch

If congress were truly a representative body of honest public servants, they would be leading by example instead of exempting themselves from all the onerous rules and regulations they impose on us. But, obviously they are not.

So it goes....guns for me, but not for Thee, Vaccines for Thee, but not for me. After all, It's a matter of PRIVACY! So says the Speaker of the House! Thanks Nancy, you just gave every American, who doesn't wish to be vaccinated, a way out. Simply remind the person asking for your "Papers (Oh, I mean your Vaccination Card) that "it's a matter of MY Privacy not to tell you anything"! If that's a good enough answer for Nancy and Members of Congress, it should be good for every, single American!

Apparently, members of Congress, the Judiciary and their staff are all part of the Covid problem now if you use Biden"s logic. Any Pro-Choice Congress member or Judge ( the my body, my choice crowd), should be ignored on Covid-19 vaccine demands until they too are forced to live under the same Fascist orders as the rest of us.

Any Republican Congress person who isn't objecting Joe Biden on this mandate tells me they are part of the "Deep State" collusion. Seems like we are getting back into the "ruling class and peasants" mentality.

So are we. Joe will find out in the aftermath of these ridiculous mandates just how much power he really has. It's time to build the brick wall. He actually threatened us with the US Military. After watching their performance since he "took" office, I say, bring it on!

This is the clearest indication yet that this vaccine is a depopulation agenda by the deep state.

King George III had a similar disdain for his subjects. Back then the people who were to become "Americans" were made of tougher stuff and gave us the greatest gift with the creation of this Republic. It is a shame most in this country have tossed it aside and quite frankly most in this country have no right to call themselves "Americans". In fact, most can be called Kapos!

Proving once again that this is nothing more than a “Squirrel!” moment to distract us from the debacle he created in Afghanistan. My contempt for this fool is off the chart.

There are pictures of Mussolini wearing a top hat with coattails like the Monopoly Man then there are some where he changed his image to a soldier in shiny helmet with wool waist coat draped in medals. Joe Schmuck Biden is about to enter the military faze of his dictatorship. I wonder how many Washington congress pigs lie about being vaccinated. I'll bet there are more than we know. I'm in my 'matter of privacy' mode from now on it's time to treat this on the level of the abortion crowd, "my body my choice'. Mandate away Joe you are getting there real fast.

Biden you cheater, we have your number on this. Because if any senators or representative refused the jab, that would be grounds for removing them from office, right? By the way, biden, we would like to see your proof of vaccination. When can we expect to have a look at it?

Of course they are exempt! "Why??" .... you might foolishly ask.
Because the biggest group of true anti-vax believers are blacks and Hispanics! And China Joe and Nasty an UpChuck would lose half of the Chicago, New York and L.A. delegation --- and their staff --- if the mandate was really and truly enforced. There goes Crazy Maxine, AOC, Omar the tent maker, etc. Can't have that.
Note, however, how this "vax tax" has taken the border crisis and Afghanistan right off the news.

Congress does not fall under the Executive branch of the government. Biden won’t take them on. I don’t blame Congress for that although it does make the attempted mandate look even worse.

As usual, those in power are exempt from the draconian measures inflicted on the rest of us. Whatever happened to "My body, my choice" ?

The U.S. Postal Service is exempt as are diseased illegal aliens. The Postal Service employees worked every day of the Fauci and scarf lady's fearmongering while other federal agencies hid from work but still enjoyed life knowing it was a ruse. The postal employees definitely have natural immunity and included in this is every health related government employee and we all know any government can wink, nod and opt out. When the D-Dimer test is an indicator of injection status we are in trouble.

Because of the constitutional doctrine of separation of powers, a president may not impose rules on the other two branches of government. Congress likewise could not enact a law commanding the Supreme Court to be vaccinated. If it tried, the Court on its own motion would declare the law void. Congress cannot tell the president or his staff to be vaccinated. By the same token, the Court cannot devise rules for the other two branches. .

The fact is that EOs are only legally binding upon the Executive Branch, and only in certain circumstances. This is largely ignored and has been for quite a while. Xiden's EOs cannot legally compel business to do anything, though he will find plenty of willing participants in his scheme initially.
