Key Points

  • Congress would bar naming or renaming any federal building, land, or other federal asset after a sitting President.
  • The bill would also block the use of federal money to do any naming or renaming that honors a sitting President.
  • If something is already named after the current President when the law takes effect, it would have to revert to the name set by federal law.
  • For most people, this mainly affects what federal places are called on signs, maps, and official documents—not services you receive.
