Charlie Kirk Congressional Gold Medal Act
This bill authorizes Congress to award two gold medals in honor of Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, who was tragically killed in 2025. One medal will go to his family, and the other will be displayed at the Smithsonian Institution to preserve his legacy. The bill does not create new policy or affect any laws - it is purely commemorative, following standard procedures for Congressional Gold Medals. It includes provisions for striking the medals and selling bronze duplicates to cover costs, but contains no substantive legislative changes.
