Summary

The joint resolution, introduced by Senator Whitehouse, directs Congress to disapprove the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s rule that would rename geographic features in the Gulf of America to honor American greatness. By invoking chapter 8 of title 5 of the U.S. Code, the resolution declares the rule void and without legal effect. The measure reflects congressional concern that the naming changes may not align with established procedures or public interest. If adopted, the resolution would prevent the Bureau from implementing the proposed renaming program.
