Bans naming federal buildings and land after a President currently in office.

This bill would stop federal buildings, land, or other assets from being named after a President while they are still in office. It would also prevent government money from being used for such namings. Any existing federal assets named after the current President would go back to their previous names.

What Would Change

Today, federal buildings, land, or other assets can be named after a President who is currently in office, and government money can be used for this. If this bill passes, no federal building, land, or other asset could be named after a President currently in office, and any such existing names would be changed back to their previous names.
