Original Note:
Congress is exempt from the rules due to separation of powers, not because of Biden. Biden’s vaccine requirements were issued in an executive order, directives that apply only to the executive branch. Congress is the legislative branch, and thus not subject to the order. https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2021/why-is-congress-exempt-from-the-biden-covid-vaccine-mandate/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/09/20/fact-check-biden-cant-mandate-vaccines-congress/8384930002/ https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/politifact/2022/01/27/fact-check-did-biden-exempt-congress-vaccine-mandate/9225331002/
