This latest development has sparked a heated debate between Congress and the \u2063Biden \u200cadministration.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;With this latest affront to the Constitution, American businesses may have no choice but to challenge Julie \u200dSu\u2019s status at the Department of Labor,&#8221;\u2063 expressed Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), chairwoman of the House Education \u2064and Labor\u2063 Committee. &#8220;The Department of Labor Succession Act seeks to resolve the significant\u200d constitutional issues with the existing statute and put America\u2019s elected\u200d officials back \u200cin their proper role.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rep. Foxx, along with Workforce Protections Subcommittee Chairman Kevin Kiley (R-CA), \u200dintroduced the bill in Congress \u200bto address the concerns surrounding Julie Su&#8217;s appointment\u200d as labor secretary. President Biden has been attempting to confirm Su since March, but faces opposition from Republicans and some centrist\u200b Democrats. To \u2063circumvent this, the president is utilizing\u2063 a legal\u200d loophole to keep \u2064Su in \u200dher position indefinitely.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Upon Secretary\u2064 Walsh\u2019s departure, acting Secretary\u2063 Su automatically became\u2062 acting secretary under its\u2062 organic statute, not\u200d under the\u200d Federal Vacancies Reform Act,&#8221; \u200bclarified a \u200cWhite House official. &#8220;As a result, Su is\u200b not subject to\u200c the time limits of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act and she\u2062 can serve as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lacks-the-votes-has-the-job-biden-keeping-julie-su-as-acting-labor-secretary-indefinitely\/\" title=\"Biden retains Julie Su as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/secretive-su-biden-admin-wont-release-records-of-transparent-labor-secretary-nominee-julie-su\/\" title=\"Secretive Su: Biden Admin Won\u2019t Release Records of \u2018Transparent\u2019 Labor Secretary Nominee Julie Su\">acting labor secretary<\/a> indefinitely, despite lacking votes.&#8221;>acting secretary indefinitely<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Rep. Foxx and Rep. Kiley&#8217;s bill aims to put \u2063an end to this loophole. The \u200dDepartment of Labor Succession Act, \u200bas outlined by its authors, seeks to align the\u200b tenure \u2062of any acting labor secretary with the Federal Vacancies\u2064 Reform Act of 1998.<\/p>\n<p>While the bill&#8217;s\u2063 fate remains uncertain, business groups are\u2063 considering legal action against\u200b major decisions made by\u200d the Labor Department under Su&#8217;s \u200cleadership. Ultimately, a court may have to determine \u200cthe\u200d legality of keeping \u2063Su in her position without Senate confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the opposition, \u200bDemocratic \u2062strategist Brad Bannon believes \u200dthat Su is highly\u200c qualified\u2062 for \u2062the role of labor secretary.\u200c He argues\u200d that \u2063a Senate\u2064 vote, even if unsuccessful, would send a powerful message about the priorities of\u200b Republicans and centrist Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Examiner \u2062has reached out to the White House for comment on this\u2062 matter.<\/p>\n<h3>Controversy\u200d Surrounding Julie Su<\/h3>\n<p>Julie Su&#8217;s nomination as labor secretary \u200chas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/china-upenn-cash-infusion-as-biden-think-tank-opened-was-startling-ex-official\/\" title=\"Former official finds China's financial support for UPenn's Biden think tank 'surprising'.\">drawn attention due<\/a> to her\u200d tenure at California&#8217;s Labor and Workforce Development Agency.
