evidence: I voted "Yes" on H.R. 1425, the No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act. This bill would explicitly require any new pandemic preparedness treaty to be submitted to the Senate for ratification, such as the current WHO Treaty that is being negotiated by the Biden administration. This would prevent the Biden administration from skirting around the Senate by arbitrarily declaring this new treaty to be an "executive agreement", which does not require Senate ratification. I strongly supported this bill’s passage through the House of Representatives and urge my Senate colleagues to pass this critical legislation. This bill passed by a vote of 219-199.
