Bill > S849

This bill, known as "The Allegiance Act of 2025," establishes two primary restrictions related to foreign flags on Capitol Hill. First, it prohibits the display of any foreign country's flag anywhere on the United States Capitol Grounds, which are specifically defined in existing federal law (section 5102 of title 40, United States Code). Second, the bill prevents Members of Congress from using their official funds—specifically the Members' Representational Allowance for House Representatives and the Senators' Official Personnel and Office Expense Account—to purchase flags of countries other than the United States. These provisions appear aimed at ensuring that only the United States flag is displayed in congressional spaces and that taxpayer-funded allowances cannot be used to acquire foreign national flags. The bill suggests a strong emphasis on symbolic national allegiance and limiting potential displays of international symbolism within the immediate congressional environment.
