President Biden’s vaccine mandate is unconstitutional. He issued two Executive Orders on September 9, 2021 requiring Covid-19 vaccination.
I would like to layout just one concept, the Constitutionality of his Executive Orders. The Constitution does permit the issuance of executive orders, but their function is limited, and not intended for establishing laws.
The first message of the Constitution says:
“All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States.”
Congress is given the authority to make laws. The Founding Fathers specifically used the word ALL. No other branches were authorized to pass laws. The President was not given the authority to make laws. He only has enforcement authority.
Many people appear to be confused about how Executive Orders work. The function of Executive Orders is to establish rules for Federal Executive Agencies. For example, the President issued EO-14040 to declassify some 9/11 documents previously deemed sensitive. This is within the limits of an executive order because it deals with the functioning of federal agencies.
However, if an Executive Order is meant to tell Americans what to do, then it falls outside of the intent when the Founders’ set Executive Orders in place.
The limits of our actions are set by laws. The President of the United States was not authorized by the Constitution to establish laws. Only Congress was authorized to establish laws.
In Federalist 47, Madison explains:
“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
“When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person or body, there can be no liberty, because apprehensions may arise lest THE SAME monarch or senate should ENACT tyrannical laws to EXECUTE them in a tyrannical manner.”
In other words, President Biden already has Executive power. By him assuming Legislative powers, he can do whatever he wants. With no check or balance to his powers. Anyone in this position is, by definition, a Tyrant.
President Biden’s latest Executive Order requires private companies with over 100 employees to force every employee to be vaccinated or face losing their job. President Biden has the ability to enforce this rule.
The issuance of mandating requirements essentially makes it a law. Biden usurped the authority to issue requirements. As a result he has created a new law. With no one to check on his usurped power, he is a Tyrant.
