It was a fitting piece of legislation to propose on Flag Day, not to mention somewhat of a birthday gift for President Trump.
On Friday, Republicans reintroduced a proposal calling for a ban on burning the American flag. It was immediately endorsed by President Trump.
“All in for Senator Steve Daines as he proposes an Amendment for a strong BAN on burning our American Flag. A no brainer!,” the president wrote in a Twitter message Saturday.

Today, #FlagDay, I introduced a Constitutional amendment w/ @SenKevinCramer to ban the desecration of the American Flag.
