Bans foreign flags on Capitol Hill and stops lawmakers from buying them with official money.
This bill would stop flags from other countries from being displayed anywhere on the U.S. Capitol Grounds. It would also prevent Members of Congress from using their official office budgets to buy flags of other nations. As a result, visitors to Capitol Hill would only see American flags, and taxpayer money would not go towards purchasing foreign flags for congressional offices.
Today, flags from other countries can be displayed on the U.S. Capitol Grounds, and Members of Congress can use their official funds to buy them. If this bill passes, only the U.S. flag would be allowed on Capitol Hill, and lawmakers would not be able to use taxpayer money from their office budgets to purchase flags of other nations.
