Insurrection Act of 2025

The Insurrection Act of 2025 establishes specific conditions under which the President may deploy military forces domestically to address insurrections, rebellions, or widespread violence that overwhelm state and local authorities. It requires the President to consult Congress, issue a proclamation ordering lawbreakers to disperse, and submit a detailed report before deployment, with congressional approval needed within 7 days. The bill specifically protects voting rights by requiring that military deployment to address voting rights violations must comply with the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It also prohibits using National Guard members on training or other duty for domestic deployments. This legislation directly affects the President, Congress, state authorities, and military operations.
