In case anyone is wondering, here is the clause in the US Constitution that Biden says gives him the power to mandate vaccines or tests:
"The Congress shall have Power... To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes."
Their perceptions of reality are approaching Trumpian levels of delusion.
(Maybe that's why that clause is labeled "Section 8")

@Pat Oh wow I didnt know that Biden was the congress now... live and learn.
The Congress has mostly surrendered their power to the Executive by passing overly vague laws, giving regulators the power to essentially make up the law. And SCOTUS has gone along with it. (see Chevron deference)
SCOTUS = Supreme Court of the US
US = United States
@freemo
The case precedent chain goes something like this:
-Congress can regulate interstate commerce
-Therefore congress can regulate anything that those businesses do
-therefore Congress can regulate anybody who competes with anybody who does interstate commerce
-therefore congress can regulate anything that anybody does, because they could have hired someone to do it who might be from another state
-therefore congress can tell people what medical procedures they must undergo because only congress knows how to keep your employees from spreading
COVID19 to other employees
- and by the way, congress can assign their power over to the executive branch
