Bill > HR4264

This bill aims to limit the President's ability to use active-duty military forces domestically during peaceful protests and demonstrations. Specifically, the bill modifies two sections of Title 10 of the United States Code (sections 252 and 253) to add a new restriction: the President can only deploy regular military personnel within a U.S. state or territory to respond to peaceful protests or demonstrations if the governor or chief executive of that state or territory specifically requests such deployment. The bill appears to be named the "Stop Trump's Abuse of Power Act," suggesting it is a direct response to concerns about potential misuse of military force during civil protests. By requiring gubernatorial consent for military deployment during peaceful demonstrations, the legislation seeks to prevent unilateral presidential action that could potentially infringe on state autonomy or civil liberties. The bill does not affect the President's existing authority to deploy military forces in other circumstances not involving peaceful protests.
