Prohibiting Members of the House of Representatives from bringing or displaying a flag of a foreign nation on the floor of the House, and for other purposes.

Bill 119 HRES 49, also known as the Prohibiting Members of the House of Representatives from bringing or displaying a flag of a foreign nation on the floor of the House, is a proposed legislation that aims to prevent members of the US House of Representatives from displaying flags of foreign nations while conducting official business on the House floor.

The bill seeks to uphold the principle of national sovereignty and promote unity among members of the House by prohibiting the display of foreign flags, which could potentially be seen as a sign of allegiance to a foreign country. The legislation also aims to ensure that the focus remains on the issues facing the United States and its citizens, rather than on symbols of other nations.

If passed, the bill would require members of the House to adhere to this prohibition and could potentially face disciplinary action if found in violation. The legislation does not prohibit the display of flags of US states or territories, as these are considered symbols of the United States. Overall, Bill 119 HRES 49 is a measure aimed at promoting national unity and emphasizing the importance of representing the interests of the United States while conducting official business in the House of Representatives.
