The House of Representatives passed a measure on Friday automatically registering men aged 18 to 26 for selective service, as part of the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
While it hasn’t been invoked in over half a century, it’s mandatory for all male U.S. citizens to register for the selective service, also known as the military draft, when they turn 18. Failure to register is classified as a felony and comes with a host of legal challenges.
The NDAA passed the House in a 217 to 199 vote, but it’s unlikely to be taken up by the Senate
