“Rep. Anna Paulina Luna to Introduce Bill Mandating Frontline Duty in Ukraine for Members of Congress Supporting Schumer’s $60 Billion Proposal
View attachment 23546
In what can only be described as an extraordinary move, Representative Anna Paulina Luna, who served as an airfield management specialist in the U.S. Air Force from 2009 to 2014, has drafted legislation that could radically change the accountability landscape for elected officials.
The bill, which was not meant to be public knowledge just yet, was leaked to
The Daily Mail.
Dubbed the SCHUMER Act, an acronym for Senators Can Help Underpin Military Engagement and Readiness, the proposed bill aims to mandate that members of Congress who support military aid to Ukraine must themselves serve on the front lines of the conflict.
This initiative directly challenges the support for a Schumer-backed proposal that advocates for an additional $60 billion in aid to Ukraine.
According to the Daily Mail
, the legislation would “require Members of Congress who advocate for providing military support for Ukraine to enlist in the armed forces and to serve on active duty in support of a contingency operation.”
The bill states, “If a Member of Congress advocates for providing military support for Ukraine, the Member—
- shall enlist in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, or Coast Guard; and
- shall be assigned for not fewer than 6 months to active duty in support of a contingency operation.”
Since Russia’s invasion in February 2022, the US has committed over
$75 billion in assistance, including $46.3 billion in security assistance to Ukraine.
