End the requirement for men to register for the military draft.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with this effort?
S. 4537 remains in the Senate Committee on Armed Services as of May 13, 2026. The committee members must hold a vote to move the bill forward, but most bills fail because committees choose not to act on them. This pattern of inaction has stopped similar proposals in the past, including S. 4881 which expired on July 30, 2024.
