House takes up ‘Gulf of America’ renaming legislation next week

Published



The House is poised to take up legislation next week to rename the coastal body of water that stretches from Florida to Texas the Gulf of America.

The House Rules Committee is scheduled to vote on advancing the legislation on Monday, sending it to the full floor for a vote later in the week. The bill, which was introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America upon the start of his second term.
