Plain-English Summary
Congress is considering blocking a federal rule that would rename geographic features in the Gulf of Mexico, including changing "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America." The resolution would use a fast-track congressional process to reject the naming change without the typical lengthy debate, affecting how the federal government officially refers to these water bodies and coastal areas. This is one of the few ways Congress can directly overturn a federal agency's decision.
