Lawmakers in the House are expected to cast their votes Thursday on a measure that would officially change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” solidifying President Donald Trump’s executive order that launched the initiative on his first day back in office, according to Spectrum News.
The legislation, put forward by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a staunch Trump supporter, mandates that all references by federal agencies to the large coastal waterway—spanning from Florida to Texas—be updated to reflect the new name. This would impact a wide range of materials including official laws, maps, regulations, and federal documents.
