Incorrect.
AS News, Sept 9, 2021:
https://en.as.com/en/2021/09/10/latest_news/1631227244_232419.html“The federal vaccine mandate, although not passed by the US Congress, still carries the same legal requirement that it be followed and will be the law of the land until it expires, is canceled, revoked or is found unlawful by the courts. The US Constitution’s Second Amendment gives the President his authority to issue executive orders, along with additional Acts of Congress.
“Executive orders, or directives, like laws passed by Legislatures can be called mandates and can have sunset clauses, taken off the books at a later date or be found unconstitutional by the courts and struck down.
“There is strong Supreme Court precedent backing … [the] executive order mandating vaccination and companies that require their workforce to be vaccinated, if they don’t qualify for a medical or religious exemption.
“The Supreme Court ruled in Jacobson v. Massachusetts over a century ago that mandatory vaccination against smallpox was constitutional because most of the members of the medical profession “have considered the risk of [harm] too small to be seriously weighed as against the benefits coming from the discreet and proper use of the preventive.”
The "preventive" was the smallpox vaccine.
Mandate = Law (with term limits as mentioned above; generally for the duration of the emergency situation for which the mandate was initiated.)
