- Vermont must pass the Defend the Guard Act
The Defend the Guard Act (H.355) aims to require Vermont's governor to ensure National Guard combat call-ups comply with the Constitution’s war authorization requirement. The bill opposes President Donald Trump’s deployment of Vermont National Guard members to Venezuela and Iran without congressional approval. A Vergennes resident criticizes Rep. Matt Birong for not supporting the bill and urges his replacement to advocate for it.
