House voted to ban the import of Russian oil even though Biden already banned it by executive order

The House approved a sweeping ban on Russian oil and energy imports late Wednesday, a day after President Joe Biden enacted his own ban via executive order.

Unlike other bills on the House floor, it was a blowout bipartisan vote. The House approved the measure in a 414-17 vote, reflecting the common desire on both sides of the aisle to punish the Kremlin in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine.

The 17-page House bill would impose a ban on Russian oil and natural gas, a sanction that Biden rolled out on Tuesday. But it goes further in two ways.

The bill would kickstart a process to suspend Russia from the World Trade Organization and reauthorize the Magnitsky Act, which allows the US government to sanction entities that it deems to be human rights offenders.

1. Executive orders can be repealed with the stroke of a pen

Who knows who is going to be President in three years. A law would require both Congress to repeal.

4. It's always good

To get Republicans on the record. They can now be reminded where they stood on Russian Oil when Gas prices continue to rise.
