                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing support for the designation of February 9, 2025, as the 
 first ever ``Gulf of America Day'' and celebrating the importance of 
          changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Whereas, on January 20, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14172 
        (``Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness''), which required the 
        Secretary of the Interior, acting pursuant to take all appropriate 
        actions to rename as the ``Gulf of America'' the United States 
        Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by 
        the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida and 
        extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba in the area 
        formerly named as the Gulf of Mexico;
Whereas the area formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico has long been an integral 
        asset to the once burgeoning Nation and has remained an indelible part 
        of America;
Whereas February 9, 2025, marks President Trump's first visit to the Gulf of 
        America since its renaming; and
Whereas, as President Trump restores American pride in the history of American 
        greatness, it is fitting and appropriate for this great Nation to come 
        together and commemorate this momentous occasion and the renaming of the 
        Gulf of America: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) expresses support for the designation of the first ever 
        ``Gulf of America Day''; and
            (2) celebrates the importance of changing the Gulf of 
        Mexico to the Gulf of America.
