Sundown Joe "Checking" To See if the Constitution Gives Him Dictatorial Power To Declare That All Schoolchildren Must be Masked

He'll just declare it and then keep appealing to the Supreme Court, as he already has done with respect to his lawless declaration of an extension of the eviction moratorium.

President Biden said Tuesday that his administration is examining whether he can order universal masking in public schools, overriding Republican governors in states like Florida and Texas.

"I don’t believe that I do [have that power], thus far," Biden told reporters during an event in the East Room of the White House. "We're checking that."

Last month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended masking for all students, faculty, staff and visitors in K-12 schools due to the spread of the Delta variant.

However, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has dismissed the CDC recommendation. After initially banning school districts from imposing mask mandates and suggesting funding cuts for those that do require masking, the governor suggested Monday that the state could "move to withhold the salary" of local officials who make face coverings mandatory.
