Summary

AI Summary

This proposed legislation aims to prevent a sitting President from naming public facilities after themselves during their term in office. It explicitly prohibits the President or any executive branch officer or employee acting on their behalf from designating any public building or facility with the President's name. The bill broadly defines a "public facility" to include any building administered by a federal agency, as well as any facility operated by an entity that receives federal funds. This measure ensures that such honors are bestowed only after a President has left office, promoting a standard of earned recognition rather than self-promotion while in power. The prohibition applies for the entire duration of the President's term, covering a wide array of federally connected properties.
