CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 121

119th Congress · Session 1 · May 8, 2025

A last attempt to send the bill back to committee

The minority party's final chance to change or stall a bill just before the vote on passage. It almost always fails; when it succeeds, the bill does not get its final vote that day.

What was being voted on

119-HR-276 — Gulf of America Act

This bill aims to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. Under this act, the body of water will be officially known as the "Gulf of America." The change applies to any United States law, map, regulation, or official record. The Secretary of the Interior will oversee this process through the Chairman of the Board on Geographic Names. Additionally, all Federal agencies must update their documents and maps within 180 days of the act's enactment.
