Summary

This bill amends sections 252 and 253 of title 10, United States Code, to modify the President's authority regarding the domestic use of the Armed Forces. Its primary purpose is to restrict the deployment of active duty military personnel in response to civilian unrest. Specifically, the legislation stipulates that the President may not deploy a member of a regular component of the Armed Forces serving on active duty within a State or territory to respond to a peaceful protest or demonstration . This restriction applies unless such deployment is explicitly requested by the governor or chief executive of the affected State or territory, thereby limiting unilateral presidential action in these specific circumstances.
