Bill > HRes129

This resolution supports the designation of February 9, 2025, as the first "Gulf of America Day" in response to an executive order signed by President Trump on January 20, 2025, which renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. The resolution references the area's historical significance to the United States, specifically highlighting the region bounded by the coastal states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, and extending to the maritime boundaries with Mexico and Cuba. The document frames the renaming as an act of restoring "American pride" and "American greatness," and formally resolves that the House of Representatives both supports the establishment of the commemorative day and celebrates the significance of renaming the maritime region from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. The resolution appears to be symbolic in nature, marking President Trump's first visit to the area since its renaming and emphasizing the area's importance to the nation.
