What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Stop Trump's Abuse of Power Act," seeks to amend title 10 of the United States Code. It aims to modify how the President uses the Armed Forces domestically to enforce Federal authority. Specifically, it targets the use of military members to respond to peaceful protests or demonstrations. Under this act, the President would be prohibited from deploying active duty members of a regular component within a State or territory for such purposes unless a specific request is made. This request must come from the governor or the chief executive of that State or territory.
