Stop Executive Renaming for Vanity and Ego (SERVE) Act of 2026
This bill prohibits naming any federal building, land, or asset after a sitting president and requires reverting any existing names given to such property during the current presidency back to their prior designations. It applies to all federal property, preventing the executive branch from using federal funds or authority to rename locations for personal recognition during a president's term. The law would take effect immediately upon enactment, restoring previous names for any property renamed under this practice.
