The Allegiance Act of 2025

S 849, the Allegiance Act of 2025, prohibits displaying foreign flags on U.S. Capitol Grounds and restricts using certain congressional allowances to purchase foreign flags. It directly affects Members of Congress and their staff by banning the display of non-U.S. flags at the Capitol and preventing the use of funds from their representational allowances (for office expenses) to buy foreign flags. The bill’s key provisions are a display ban on Capitol Grounds and a spending restriction on specific allowances. This is a procedural bill focused on symbolic conduct within congressional facilities, not a substantive policy change.
