SRES382119th Congress

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that Ashli Babbitt is disqualified from eligibility for military funeral honors under section 985 of title 10, United States Code.

Sponsored By: Senator Gallego, Ruben [D-AZ]

Introduced

Summary

Would declare Ashli Babbitt ineligible for military funeral honors because her January 6, 2021 actions constitute disqualifying conduct under 10 U.S.C. 985. The resolution recounts that Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, died while illegally attempting to breach the Capitol, carrying a weapon and climbing through a broken window where a Capitol Police officer intervened to protect lawmakers. It says military honors are reserved for those who upheld their oath and that granting honors to January 6 participants would bring discredit and undermine those honors. The text calls the Air Force's August 15, 2025 decision to grant honors indefensible, shameful, and a disservice, and it affirms gratitude to the officers who defended the Capitol.
