Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tells his National Guard Biden is NOT their 'commander-in-chief' as he sues the White House over 'unconstitutional' military vaccine mandate

 Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has sued President Biden over the administration's military vaccine mandate, citing the governor's authority 'as commander-in-chief and on Texas's sovereignty.'

Abbott filed suit Tuesday in Texas, asking a federal judge to overturn Biden's vaccine requirement, in a filing that repeatedly invokes Abbott's own authority as commander of chief of the guard, which is subject to complex jurisdiction.
