Houlahan for attempting to sow disallegiance amongst 
members of the United States military and intelligence 
community and encouraging them to act against the 
Commander in Chief and President of the United States 
and violate the Uniform Code of Military Justice. 
Whereas a bedrock principle of the Constitution of the United 
States is the President’s power and solemn responsibility 
to serve as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces; 
Whereas the President’s power to direct the Armed Forces is 
embedded under article II, section 2 of the Constitution; 
Whereas it is a crime subject to court-martial for a member 
of the Armed Forces to knowingly fail to obey lawful or-
ders or regulations or to become derelict in the perform-
ance of their duties under section 892 of title 10, United 
States Code (article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military 
Justice (UCMJ)), which forbids a ‘‘failure to obey 
order[s] or regulation[s]’’; 
Whereas Congress, which holds the power to declare war, was 
so concerned that the chain of command could be under-
mined by individuals encouraging disloyalty by members 
of the military that it made it a Federal crime to advise, 
counsel, urge, or in any manner cause or attempt to 
cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of 
duty by any member of the military; 
Whereas, in a video posted on November 18, 2025, and wide-
ly disseminated across social media and the news, the 
aforementioned Members of Congress urged the military 
and intelligence communities to defy ‘‘illegal’’ orders, in-
sinuating, without evidence, that the administration has 
been issuing these types of orders;

Whereas UCMJ case law has held that orders are presumed 
lawful, outside of those obviously unlawful, and are ‘‘dis-
obeyed at the peril of the subordinate’’, without consider-
ation to the ‘‘person’s conscience, religion, or personal 
philosophy’’; 
Whereas the Members of Congress are fully aware and recog-
nize due to their own experiences in the military and in-
telligence community that the chain of command is sac-
rosanct and essential to the efficient and successful func-
tioning of these institutions and yet claimed in the video 
that they ‘‘have [a servicemember’s] back’’ if they disobey 
an order they independently deem to be unlawful; 
Whereas, when asked for proof of unlawful orders made by 
the Commander in Chief, Senator Slotkin stated that she 
was ‘‘not aware of things that are illegal’’, as well as oth-
ers in the recorded video who also stated similar admis-
sions with regard to orders issued by the Commander in 
Chief; 
Whereas the Members of Congress, without any proof or 
basis in fact, claimed that the Trump administration is 
‘‘pitting the military and intelligence community against 
American citizens’’; 
Whereas Senator Slotkin even went so far as introducing leg-
islation in the Senate to limit the power of the President 
to deploy troops to protect and defend cities under siege 
by narcotraffickers, drugs, and violence, despite at the 
same time admitting that she was not aware of any ille-
gal orders issued by President Trump; 
Whereas the Members of Congress claimed, once again with-
out any evidence or proof, that American trust in the

military is at risk, a message which erodes confidence 
and respect for these hallowed institutions; 
Whereas the Members of Congress, all of whom took an oath 
themselves to defend and uphold the Constitution, en-
couraged members of the military and intelligence com-
munity to undermine their own oaths by refusing ‘‘ille-
gal’’ orders, without citing any evidence that any orders 
emanating from the administration are anything except 
lawful and directed toward protecting the United States 
and its citizens; and 
Whereas the Members of Congress insinuated that the 
Trump administration is threatening Americans which is 
seriously damaging rhetoric that places American citizens 
at odds with the government entrusted to protect them: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives de-
nounces the dangerous and seditious rhetoric spewing 
from these six Members of Congress that has led to an 
environment placing troops and their loved ones at risk 
of harm, compromising and undermining the national se-
curity of the United States and the peaceful coexistence 
and respect deserved by our brave men and women serving 
in the military and the intelligence community.
