(Children’s Health Defense) Overturning the emergency powers Proclamation isn’t just about stopping the mandates, it is about prohibiting the government from trampling upon the rights of the American people and destroying businesses ever again. Last week, the Senate voted 48-47 to end the emergency powers put in place by President Trump in March, 2020 in response to the COVID crisis. The Senate’s joint resolution has now gone to the House of Representatives and President Biden has said that he’ll veto the bill if it crosses his desk.
