A little background. I taught my 7th graders the U.S. Constitution for nearly thirty years. We went though it word-by-word. So I have a decent idea of what’s in it. Of course I do have the wisdom that comes with being a wise Latina, so there’s that.
That said, even if the vaccine were proven 100% safe and 100% effective, I can not find anything in the document that gives POTUS the power to require free American citizens to take the vaccine. Nor can I find anywhere the Congress or any part of the Federal Government is given that power.
You are very wise indeed. I wish you were arguing the case today.
