Exclusive — Sen. Bernie Moreno Introduces Bill to Ban Foreign Flags on Capitol Grounds
Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) has introduced legislation to ban the display of foreign flags on U.S. Capitol grounds, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.
Moreno, a legal immigrant from Colombia who came here to the United States as a child and then built an impressive auto dealer chain business before his election last year to the U.S. Senate, told Breitbart News that flying foreign flags like Ukraine’s in Congress is offensive to Americans.
“When I came to this country as a child, I swore allegiance to America and America alone, which is why it’s so deeply offensive to me to see elected officials flying the flags of foreign nations like Ukraine in the halls of Congress,” Moreno told Breitbart News. “We swore an oath to the American people we would always put them first—let’s start acting like it and stop sending billions overseas on endless wars when average Americans are struggling.”
The new bill he just introduced, called the “Allegiance Act,” would make it illegal for members of Congress to use official funds to purchase any nation’s flags other than the American flag. It would also prohibit the display on Capitol grounds of a nation’s flag if it is not the U.S. flag.

Foreign flags (and ANY other) should be flown lower and no larger than the US flag.

IMO - any of those flags should no larger than 75% the square inch dimensions as the US flag

They'll need an exception for when foreign leader like Benjamin Netanyahu come to Congress to speak. The U.S. Flag Code allows the foreign leader's flag to be flown second in line and at the same height (and approximate size) as the U.S. flag.

Edit: However, the exception should be handled by U.S. Capitol staff, not by individual congress critters, which would accomplish what Senator Moreno is trying to do with limiting the "every flag every day someone wants" thing.

Dear Bernie,

While I will agree with the idea, I think there are more pressing matters that need to be addressed.

Shouldn't we designate the variety of "rainbow" flags as representing foreign countries? In as much as proponents of those banners have referred to themselves as members of "nations" other than the US at times.

Should be on all Government Facilities and properties. IMO.
