House rejects amendment banning transgender individuals from serving in military
The 217-212 vote followed a push by Colorado Republican Lauren Boebert to make Trump’s January order binding law.
- On Tuesday, the House rejected an amendment sponsored by Colorado Republican Lauren Boebert that would have codified President Donald Trump's transgender military service ban, failing 217–212 with four Republicans joining Democrats.
- The amendment aimed to codify an executive order President Donald Trump signed in January, which barred those expressing a 'false "gender identity"' from military service, attached to the National Defense Authorization Act amid Republican efforts targeting transgender Americans.
- While the Boebert amendment failed, the House passed two other anti-transgender amendments sponsored by Rep. Nancy Mace, prohibiting TRICARE from covering certain gender-related medical procedures and banning transgender individuals from women's K-12 sports at Defense-run schools.
- Representative Doris Matsui criticized President Donald Trump for falsely claiming the CHIPS Act requires companies to hire transgender executives, accusing him of "deliberately spewing disinformation to incite hatred" while attacking American manufacturing investment.
- The House-passed National Defense Authorization Act now heads toward the Senate, where Democrats have historically stripped controversial amendments as the chamber requires 60 votes for passage, potentially forcing negotiations between the two chambers on the final version.
