The Democratic-controlled House voted Monday to add limits to the Insurrection Act after President Trump threatened to invoke it to deploy active-duty troops against recent protests over racial injustice.

In a 215-190 vote, the House approved the Insurrection Act changes as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act.

The vote fell largely along party-lines, though 14 Democrats voted with Republicans against the amendment. One Republican, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (Wash.), voted for the amendment.

Last month, Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act at the height of nationwide protests sparked by the death of George Floyd, saying he would deploy active-duty troops if governors did not “dominate” their streets.

3. Thank you.

I don't know what their rationale was but I hope there are some people wanting to discuss the rationale for primarying them with actual Democrats.
