US EditionHouse to Vote on Making 'Gulf of America' Official
- The Republican-led House plans to vote this week on the Gulf of America Act, which would rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.
- The bill follows President Trump's January 20 executive order directing the interior secretary to rename the Gulf and codify this change into law.
- A bill sponsored by a prominent Republican member aims to make permanent the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, requiring federal agencies to revise their maps and official documents within 180 days. The legislation has garnered strong support from Republican lawmakers despite opposition from Democrats, who unsuccessfully proposed several amendments to block the measure.
- The chair of the House Rules Committee highlighted that the legislation protects U.S. Interests and acknowledges the Gulf's important economic and cultural role for the country.
- If passed, the name change would be difficult to reverse by future administrations and highlights ongoing partisan conflicts over the symbolic renaming of a strategic U.S. Waterway.
