This House Resolution seeks to express support for the designation of February 9, 2025, as the inaugural "Gulf of America Day" . It also celebrates the significance of renaming the body of water previously known as the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. The resolution references an Executive Order, 14172 ("Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness") , signed by President Trump on January 20, 2025. This order mandated the Secretary of the Interior to rename the United States Continental Shelf area, bounded by several states and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba, as the "Gulf of America." February 9, 2025, marks President Trump's first visit to this renamed area. The resolution asserts that this area has always been an integral asset to the nation and that commemorating this occasion and the name change is fitting to restore American pride.
