Actually, there’s no mechanism for Congress to as you say, nullify it.
Perhaps you mean repeal it.
You said nullify it without a vote? That’s a dog that won’t hunt. Congress has to vote in order to do something about whatever it might be.
Perhaps you are thinking of the state nullification possibility. States, unlike Congress, could nullify this law by refusing to implement it (and by passing laws in their legislatures followed by governors signing them, saying their state citizens do not have to comply with Obamacare).
There is a very good thread on this based on Rush’s sub, Dr. Walter E Williams, advocating this very thing.
Walter E. Williams: States should nullify Obamacare

As to what to call it, a tax, and on the basis of the Robert’s opinion act against it in whatever way, there I see that as quite murky.
I’m not certain what force of law the Robert’s opinion has. He certainly failed to overturn Obamacare, because he refused to join with the four justices who voted to overturn.
Where I get lost in the weeds is, how can he simply CALL it a tax in his writings, when it didn’t come before him as tax because it was not passed in Congress as a tax...at least everyone behind it screamed it was not a tax.
And how can he as one man get away with claiming it is upheld as a tax even though there’s a law that says tax cases cannot be brought until people are having to pay the tax.
Also, it was my understanding that the libs did not agree with Roberts to call it a tax. They wanted to hold that it stood under the Commerce Clause, not even to mention that it even might be a tax, much less it is one.
I do know they agreed with him not to overturn the law, but they were writing their own views as to why.
What, do we have rule by a one man dictator, John Roberts?
So, states CAN nullify, and they can do so no matter what Roberts wrote or what it means.
Congress can repeal, by voting, but it must pass the Senate which means Reid must go, and a new president must sign the repeal
Obama’s presidency and his handmaidens on the Left have furiously tried to hammer a square peg into a round hole and cannot make it fit.
Debate over definitions and Constitutionality of this “laughable” “Cornhusker Kickback” bill of deception (while the country sinks into an abyss of debt due to it) shows the pure evil and twisted methods done to assist Obama’s socialist push to control our rights.
This is Obama’s legacy.
Justice John Roberts cannot paper over and rebrand this slap in the face.
The people must go to their governors and state legislators and demand action.
