House passes bill to make 'Gulf of America' name change permanent [View all]

Source: Good Morning America

The Republican-led House voted Thursday to codify President Donald Trump's Gulf of America executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico.

It passed with a 211 to 206 vote with Rep. Don Bacon as the only Republican to vote against the measure.

The legislation, which was introduced by Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, codifies an executive order from President Donald Trump to rename the body of water.

Its fate in the Senate is more of a challenge, given that it will need bipartisan cooperation to overcome a filibuster. Leader John Thune has not indicated whether he'll put the measure on the floor for a vote.
