Fleming Amendment is adopted - June 5, 2013
The House Armed Services Committee adopted an amendment by Rep. John
Fleming (R-LA) to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The
Fleming Amendment protects the rights of armed services members to hold,
act upon, and practice freely their religious beliefs as long as they
do not interfere with any Constitutional liberties of others.
President Obama "strongly objects" to Fleming Amendment - June 11, 2013
On June 11th, after the House Armed Services Committee approved its
version of the NDAA (H.R.1960) with Rep. Fleming's language, a White
House Statement of Administration Policy was issued indicating that the
President's senior advisers would recommend a veto because they strongly
object "to section 530, which would require the Armed Forces to
accommodate, except in cases of military necessity, 'actions and speech'
reflecting the 'conscience, moral principles, or religious beliefs of
the member,'...[and which] would have a significant adverse effect on
good order, discipline, morale, and mission accomplishment."
