Congressional Gold Medal For Inspiring Great Heroism and Tenacity (FIGHT) Act
Congressional Gold Medals: Honoring Trump and Law Enforcement
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and is being reviewed by the House Committee on Financial Services. It was recently introduced and has not yet been scheduled for a vote. The bill is considered active as it waits for further action from the committee.
Legislative Progress
Most gold medal bills need support from two-thirds of Congress to pass. Because this bill focuses on a specific political leader, it may struggle to get enough votes from both parties.
Key Points
- This bill would award the Congressional Gold Medal to Trump and the law enforcement teams that protect him. This is the highest honor Congress can give to a person or group. It recognizes their bravery during three specific incidents where threats or assassination attempts were made against Trump.
- Three separate gold medals would be created. One would go to Trump for his personal display. Another would be placed in the Secret Service Museum. The third would be displayed at the National Law Enforcement Museum to honor the local police officers who help protect him.
- The bill highlights specific events in Pennsylvania, Florida, and Washington, D.C. It mentions the protection provided during a 2024 rally shooting and a 2026 incident where an armed person tried to enter a dinner event. It praises the quick actions of the agents and officers involved.
- The Treasury Department would be allowed to sell bronze copies of the medal to the public. The money from these sales would be used to cover the costs of designing and making the original gold medals. This ensures the medals do not cost taxpayers extra money.
