Bill 117 HR 5450, also known as the Blocking Joseph Robinette Biden's Overreaching Vaccine Mandates Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The bill aims to prevent President Biden from implementing vaccine mandates that some believe to be overreaching.
The bill specifically targets the vaccine mandates put in place by President Biden, which require certain groups of individuals, such as federal employees and contractors, to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Supporters of the bill argue that these mandates infringe on individual freedoms and rights, and that the decision to get vaccinated should be a personal choice.

It remains to be seen whether the bill will pass and become law, or if President Biden's vaccine mandates will continue to be enforced.
