Bill information
Summary
To amend titles 18 and 10, United States Code, to provide for congressional authority to terminate exceptions authorized to the prohibition on the use of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force as posse comitatus, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change federal law to give Congress the power to end certain exceptions that allow the military to act as police domestically. Currently, the Posse Comitatus Act generally prohibits using the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Space Force to enforce domestic laws without Congress approving it. The bill would let Congress terminate specific exceptions to that ban. The bill has been introduced in the House and is in its early stage.
