Donald Trump floated the death penalty and suggested imprisoning Democratic Congress members after they urged military and intelligence personnel to refuse illegal orders. Trump labeled the lawmakers' remarks seditious on his Truth Social posts and called for them to be locked up. The Democratic Party denounced the remarks as vile. The lawmakers' video featured six Democratic senators and representatives, all military or intelligence veterans, reminding service members of a duty to refuse unlawful orders. The Uniform Code of Military Justice makes willful disobedience illegal only when orders are lawful, and orders that violate the Constitution or exceed authority are understood to be unlawful. A 1968 military court case, United States v Keenan, addressed obedience to orders.
