This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating February 9, 2025, as the first 'Gulf of America Day' — celebrating President Trump's renaming of the Gulf of Mexico via Executive Order 14172 ('Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness'), which directed the Secretary of the Interior to rename the body of water bounded by Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. The resolution recognizes Trump's first visit to the renamed Gulf on that date and frames the renaming as part of restoring 'American pride in the history of American greatness.' Resolutions like this carry no legal force or operational effect — they are statements of congressional opinion. Republican Rep. Mark Alford of Missouri is the sole sponsor.
