HRES 129 United States House · 119th Congress

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.

This resolution (HRES 129) is a symbolic gesture expressing congressional support for designating February 9, 2025, as "Gulf of America Day" and celebrating the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. It references an executive order (Executive Order 14172) that directed the renaming of the Gulf area, but the resolution itself does not change the name or create new policy. The resolution solely affirms support for the designated day and the renaming effort initiated by the executive branch. It has no legal effect on geography or policy, serving only as a ceremonial expression of support.
