‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ can be eliminated by executive action they say
On June 22, 2009, seventy-seven members of Congress called on President Obama and the White House to issue a moratorium suspending gay discharges from the military. The new strategy envisions immediate executive action, to be followed by legislative repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” law at a subsequent time.
The letter called on the President “to exercise the maximum discretion legally possible in administering ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ until Congress repeals the law.”
