ms. ernst: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from iowa. ms. ernst: mr. president, is the senate in a quorum call? the presiding officer: it is not. ms. ernst: okay. thank you, mr. president. mr. president, the experts, the health officials and the data have made it clear, we can and we should safely reopen our schools. the parents, students, and even some teachers are asking the question, why have we failed to do that? there's a pretty simple answer. politicians are putting political interests ahead of the livelihoods of our kids and of our families. according to the science presented by the centers of disease control and prevention, c.d.c., schools can dust off their books and safely open up classrooms to students with commonsense precautions. transmission of covid among students is relatively rare and classrooms have not been a significant source of community transmission, according to the c.d.c. furthermore, the c.d.c. says, quote, it is possible for communities to reduce the incidents of covid-19 while keeping schools open for in-person instruction.

ms. ernst: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from iowa. ms. ernst: madam president, on january 20, i joined my colleagues on the front steps of the capitol for the inauguration of our 46th president, joe biden. at a time when divisions run deep within our country, i thought president biden's call for unity, where he pledge to be a president for all americans, struck just the right tone. as my democratic colleagues in this body can attest to, i'm always willing to work with anyone -- republicans, democrats, and independents -- on issues that will improve the lives of my fellow iowans and all americans. sadly, the actions we've seen in the first few days of this administration do not seem to honor the promise president biden made to americans throughout his campaign and again on inauguration day. in just two weeks, the president has already signed over 25 executive orders. that's a significantly more amount than any president in recent history in this short amount of time. and let's be clear, folks. he's not just breaking norms. he's obliterating
