Washington — The House on Thursday passed a bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," which would codify an executive order signed by President Trump on his first day in office.

U.S. Rep. Don Bacon was the only Republican to oppose a bill to codify Trump’s order to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

The House has passed a Republican-led bill that would rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, moving a step closer to codifying President Donald Trump’s push to rename the body of water.

President Trump already signed an executive order during his first day in office to rename the Gulf. House Republicans are looking to show their support.

The legislation would make Trump's renaming of the Gulf of Mexico law and require federal agencies to update government documents accordingly.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said her proposal to use the name Gulf of America would spark “pride” and codify President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Codifying Donald Trump's executive order, Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced a bill to completely rename the Gulf of Mexico.
