[No Same-Sex Marriages on Military Bases or by Chaplains] "(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.), chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower, is introducing an amendment today designed to prohibit military chaplains from performing same-sex marriages on military bases.
The amendment will be offered to the Defense authorization bill, which the Armed Services Committee is considering today.
The amendment comes in the aftermath of an apparent about-face by the Navy on a decision to allow Navy chaplains to perform same-sex marriages in Navy chapels, as the military makes preparations to remove its ban on homosexuality. On Tuesday afternoon, the Navy's chief of chaplains said the new policy allowing the same-sex marriages had been "suspended until further notice."

Section 7 of title 1 is the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
