Prohibiting Members of the House of Representatives from bringing or displaying a flag of a foreign nation on the floor of the House, and for other purposes.
Summary
This resolution establishes a new rule prohibiting Members of the House of Representatives, Delegates, and Resident Commissioners from bringing or displaying any flag of a foreign nation on the House floor during a session. This prohibition is comprehensive, applying to any foreign flag regardless of its size.
However, the resolution includes specific exceptions to this general rule. Members may still wear a foreign flag as a lapel pin, and a depiction of a foreign flag can be used as part of an exhibit during a speech or debate under House Rules. The Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Representatives is explicitly charged with enforcing this new prohibition.
