Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy is introducing a proposed amendment to the $1.7 trillion dollar spending bill that would bar the Department of Justice from using its funds to enforce the Respect for Marriage Act.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer outside the White House, where the president codified the Respect for Marriage Act.
The law requires the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages performed in states where they are legal, but it does not go as far as some Democrats wanted.The bill won approval in a 258-169 vote after the Senate passed it 61-36 earlier this month. Despite protests from some GOP members that the bill does not do enough to protect religious liberty, 39 House Republicans voted for the bill.
President Biden attends a signing ceremony of the Respect for Marriage Act at the White House in Washington, D.C., Dec. 13, 2022. President Biden signed the bill on Tuesday codifying federal protections for same-sex marriage. The move came days after the Respect for Marriage Act went through the U.S. Congress.
The new law intends to keep gay marriage legal, should the U.S. Supreme Court ever decide to reverse its 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex unions nationwide.
