The public can view it and submit comments about it.<\/p>\n<p>The submission is the first concrete step the administration has taken since Biden made his announcement on Sept. 9, leaving many business owners stunned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bottom line: We\u2019re going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers. We\u2019re going to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by increasing the share of the workforce that is vaccinated in businesses all across America,\u201d Biden said from the White House.<\/p>\n<p>The White House had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/white-house-americans-not-required-to-carry-vaccine-passports_3764360.html\">said previously<\/a> it wouldn\u2019t support forcing Americans to carry proof of vaccination but has since ordered federal workers to get a vaccine before announcing a private company mandate.<\/p>\n<p>The mandate has drawn significant pushback, with state-level officials in over half the states promising to fight it once it\u2019s unveiled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is, the president of the United States cannot just make up laws. That\u2019s outside of his purview, outside of his constitutional role. The executive branch implements laws \u2026 that\u2019s their job,\u201d Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/bidens-covid-19-vaccine-mandate-for-private-businesses-unconstitutional-texas-ag-ken-paxton_4009878.html\">said<\/a> on EpochTV\u2019s \u201cCrossroads\u201d last month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not the way the Constitution works, so we are pretty sure what he\u2019s doing will be unconstitutional, if it is what he said when he made the statement. So obviously, that would be for our first line of attack, just to say, \u2018Look, you didn\u2019t have the authority to do this,&#8217;\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Many companies have expressed displeasure with the prospect of a mandate, though some have indicated support for the pending rule.<\/p>\n<p>The White House has said the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 grants the Department of Labor office the authority to impose a mandate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say that requiring and mandating for businesses of 100 people or over vaccines is not a small task. That is a big bold proposal idea and something that we want to implement with as much clarity as we can,\u201d White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Tuesday. \u201cWe know there will be questions, even after these rules are put out, we understand that. But that\u2019s why we wanted to take a little bit of time, not too much time, to get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Jack Phillips contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/WEB_ZacharyStieber-1.jpg\" alt=\"Zachary Stieber\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"names\">\n<p>Zachary Stieber<\/p>\n<p>Reporter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Zachary Stieber covers U.S. news, including politics and court cases.
