Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) is under fire for a since-deleted post saying a Sikh or Muslim should not be allowed to lead prayer in the House.

It is a long-standing tradition in the House to introduce legislative sessions with prayer, with Congress members regularly inviting guest chaplains from their districts. Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) asked Giani Surinder Singh, a Sikh cleric from New Jersey, to lead lawmakers in prayer Friday morning.
