The bill was proposed by the Republican, Trump’s close ally, Marjori Taylor Green and his main goal is to complicate any recall of the decree in the future. A next president could theoretically annul the Trump’s decree, but a law is only annulled through the parliamentary procedure.
This text has little chance of being approved by the Senate. Republicans control 53 of the 100 seats but need 60 votes to pass the bill.
The bill is “very important to the American people,” Marjori Taylor Green said before the vote. “The Americans are entitled to be proud in the country and in the waters we have, we protect with our Armed Forces,” he added.
Her proposal was adopted by 211 votes in favor and 206 against – a Republican voted against her. Democratic leader Hakim Jeffris had urged MPs to vote against the bill earlier, describing it as “ridiculous, insignificant and hunted down”.
On January 20, as soon as he was sworn in president, Trump signed the decree to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. Immediately, technology giants such as Google and Apple renamed the vagina in their applications, but only for American users. The decree has led to a serious White House confrontation with the US News Agency that refused to adopt the new name since it only applies to the US and have not been recognized by either Mexico or other countries and international organizations. As a result, in February, the AP was excluded from the Oval Office and the Presidential Aircraft. Federal judge ordered the White House to allow AP journalists to access, but the government has not fully complied.
