Solely 3 years too late.
President Biden did one thing right now that I approve of: signed a bipartisan invoice to finish the COVID emergency that President Trump had declared a little bit over 3 years in the past. The invoice handed the U.S. Senate by a vote of 68-23.
Right here’s a abstract of the invoice, Senate Joint Decision 38:
Resolved by the Senate and Home of Representatives of the US of America in Congress assembled, That, pursuant to part 202 of the Nationwide Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622), the nationwide emergency declared by the discovering of the President on March 13, 2020, in Proclamation 9994 (85 Fed. Reg. 15337) is hereby terminated.
Truly, that’s not the abstract. That’s the entire thing. Congratulations to Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) for pushing this. It’s nearly all the time dangerous to offer a President emergency powers.
Right here’s how Senators voted. 21 Democratic Senators and a couple of Independents (King and Sinema) joined 45 Republicans in a Sure vote. No Republicans voted in opposition to however 4 Republicans (Barasso, Blackburn, Hagerty, and McConnell) shunned voting.
