Republican Montana Sen. Steve Daines reintroduced a constitutional amendment Wednesday to prohibit the burning of the American flag.
The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the legislation, which Daines introduced on Flag Day. Daines commemorated Flag Day on the floor of the U.S. Senate in 2018 by highlighting his constitutional amendment to prohibit the burning of the American flag. He has done this in the 115th, 116th and 117th Congresses.
“When we woke up today, we woke up in the greatest country on earth,” Daines told the Caller before introducing the legislation. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Cruz, Rep. Stefanik Introduce Legislation Requiring American Flags Displayed On Federal Property Are 100% Made In USA)
