House Rejects Amendment to Ban Transgender Military Service

The U.S. House of Representatives voted 212-217 on Tuesday to reject an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would have codified President Trump's executive order barring transgender individuals from serving in the military. The amendment, sponsored by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), was defeated after four Republicans crossed party lines to join Democrats in opposing it. The vote represents a significant legislative setback for efforts to permanently enshrine the transgender military ban into law, leaving the executive order as the current policy but not codified by Congress. The outcome highlights ongoing partisan divisions over transgender rights in the armed forces.
