HR 8388 United States House · 119th Congress

Earn it First Act of 2026

The Earn it First Act of 2026 prohibits a sitting President from naming any public facility after themselves during their term in office. This restriction applies to buildings administered by federal agencies and facilities operated by entities that receive federal funding. The law prevents executive branch officials from designating such buildings with the President's name while they hold office. This measure directly limits the ability of current presidents to create lasting physical monuments to their own leadership through federal building names.
