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.

This measure would bar lawmakers from bringing or showing any foreign country’s flag on the U.S. House floor while the House is meeting. It makes two small exceptions: a member may wear a foreign flag as a lapel pin, and may use an image of a foreign flag as part of a visual aid during a speech or debate allowed under House rules .

For the public, this mainly affects what you might see during TV coverage of House sessions. You would not see full foreign flags displayed on the floor, though small pins and flag images used in speeches would still be allowed .

• Who is affected: Members, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner in the House
• What changes: No bringing or displaying foreign national flags on the House floor during sessions; lapel pins and exhibit images are allowed
• Where/When: On the House floor while it is in session
