Senate Joint Resolution 160, sponsored by Watson, addresses the renaming of the Gulf of America and Mount McKinley, as restored by President Donald J. Trump through executive orders in January and February 2025. The resolution highlights President Trump's rationale for these changes, which include honoring President William McKinley's contributions during the Spanish-American War and recognizing the Gulf's significance to the U.S. economy. Additionally, the resolution notes the establishment of Gulf of America Day to promote American pride in the nation's history.

The resolution calls on the Tennessee General Assembly to encourage educators, particularly geography teachers, to incorporate the names Gulf of America and Mount McKinley into their curriculum. This initiative aims to ensure that students learn about these natural landmarks using their newly designated names, thereby fostering a sense of national pride and awareness of American history.
