SCHUMER Act
This bill (HR 7356) proposes that any U.S. Senator or Representative who publicly advocates for providing military support to Ukraine must enlist in one of the U.S. military branches (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Space Force, or Coast Guard) and serve at least six months on active duty in a military operation designated as a "contingency operation." It defines a "contingency operation" as military action against an enemy or during a declared war or national emergency. The bill directly affects members of Congress who support Ukraine military aid by imposing a personal service requirement. (Note: This appears to be a hypothetical or satirical proposal, as no such bill has been introduced in Congress.)
