Great news, folks! King Biden has officially declared the COVID-19 pandemic over.
That’s right… the pandemic that started over three years ago.
Precisely 1,124 days after President Trump first declared a national emergency in response to COVID-19, Joe Biden generously agreed to end the so-called “two weeks to slow the spread.”
According to a brief press release from the White House, “On Monday, April 10, 2023, the President signed into law: H.J.Res. 7, which terminates the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The measure previously passed through both the U.S. House and Senate.

Our resolution forcing Joe Biden to give up his pandemic emergency powers just PASSED for the THIRD time. 67 of my colleagues said this national emergency is over.
It’s time for Biden to do what he should have done months ago and end the COVID national emergency.
Of course, for most Americans, the pandemic ended at least a year ago. Nevertheless, the emergency declaration that authorized draconian government lockdowns, social distancing rules, business closures, and various mandates still stood until just this week. Shockingly, nearly 200 members of the president’s own party in the House of Representatives voted against ending the “emergency.” Twenty-three Senators voted against it as well.
Earlier this year, only seven of 213 House Democrats voted in favor of ending the vaccine mandate for healthcare workers, despite Biden signaling his desire to fully end the pandemic emergency by April 11.
According to at least one White House spokesperson, however, Biden “strongly” opposed H.J.Res. 7, but reluctantly agreed to sign it rather than veto the bill.
Even as the final pages of the COVID-19 pandemic are being written, those in power are still disinclined to relinquish the power they have obtained. During the pandemic, the federal government seized unprecedented control over our lives, and there’s no telling when they might do it again.
If ever we needed an Article V convention to rein in the federal government, it’s now. Thanks to the Constitution, We the People have the ultimate power over the government, and through an Article V convention, we can ensure that the abuses of the pandemic crackdowns are never repeated. By calling a convention, our state legislatures can limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, impose fiscal restraints, and place term limits on federal officials.
