The American House of Representatives adopted a text on Thursday to officially rename in the United States the Gulf of Mexico in “Gulf of America“And thus giving the decree force signed by Donald Trump to his return to power.
The bill, carried by the elected Trumpist Marjorie Taylor Greene, aims in particular to complicate any revocation in the future of this new name. A future Democratic president could indeed cancel the executive decree of the Republican with a feather, while a law can only be abolished by going through a new legislative process. However, the text has little chance of being adopted in the Senate.
If the Republicans have 53 seats out of 100, the text would indeed need 60 votes to be adopted.
“Piece of ridiculous, mean, and servile legislation”
This bill “is so important for the American people“Said Marjorie Taylor Greene in the hemicycle before the vote.”The Americans deserve pride in their country and in the waters we have, which we protect with our armed forces“Added this faithful of the Republican President.
The text was adopted with 211 votes for and 206 against – including an elected republican. The chief of the Democrat minority in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, had called to vote against, calling it “piece of ridiculous, mean, and servile legislation“.
As of January 20, the first day of his return to the White House, Donald Trump had signed a decree changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America“.
The decree had also led to a real weapon pass between the American news agency Associated Press and the White House, due to the refusal of the first to adopt the new name.
