Freedom to Sing National Anthem on Federal Property

This act aims to protect the right to sing the National Anthem in public spaces owned by the federal government, such as the U.S. Capitol. This means citizens can freely sing the anthem without special permits, as long as it does not disrupt official government business. The goal is to strengthen freedom of speech and national unity.
Key points
Singing the National Anthem on federal property, including the U.S. Capitol, will not require a permit.
Singing the anthem will not be considered a form of protest, as long as it does not interfere with government operations.
The Speaker of the House and President of the Senate hold sole discretion to limit musical performances in the Capitol, only to ensure uninterrupted official business.
