Denouncing dangerous and seditious rhetoric by Members of Congress and expressing condemnation of Senator Mark Kelly, Senator Elissa Slotkin, Representative Jason Crow, Representative Christopher Deluzio, Representative Maggie Goodlander, and Representative Chrissy Houlahan for attempting to sow disallegiance amongst members of the United States military and intelligence community and encouraging them to act against the Commander in Chief and President of the United States and violate the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Directly condemns public statements by six Members of Congress that urged military and intelligence personnel to defy orders in a widely shared video, calling that rhetoric dangerous, seditious, and harmful to troops and national security. It affirms the President’s constitutional role as Commander in Chief and notes that failure to obey lawful military orders can be punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

The measure is a House resolution that denounces the speech as putting service members and their families at risk, undermining national security, and showing disrespect for the military and intelligence communities; it is declaratory and does not create new penalties, funding, or program changes.
