What this bill would do

This bill, titled "The Allegiance Act of 2025," seeks to implement restrictions regarding foreign flags. It prohibits the display of any flag from a country other than the United States on all United States Capitol Grounds. Additionally, the legislation prevents Members of Congress from using their official funds to buy flags of other nations. This applies to the Members' Representational Allowance for House members and the Senators' Official Personnel and Office Expense Account.
