Donald Trump Might Get Banned From Naming Things After Himself [View all]

A new bill introduced by House Democrats seeks to prevent sitting presidents from putting their own names on public buildings. This comes after a series of controversial renaming efforts by President Donald Trump, including major roads, ports, cultural centers, and more.

Democrats pass bill to bar President from naming things
The proposal, formally labeled H.R. 8388 and introduced by California Representative Raul Ruiz on April 20, would prohibit a president or anyone working on their behalf from designating a public building in their own honor while still holding office. The bill was immediately referred to the House Transportation and Infrastructure and Oversight and Government Reform committees. As of its introduction, it lacks co-sponsors and has not moved beyond that initial stage.

Democrats argue that federal landmarks should remain insulated from the personal branding ambitions of whoever happens to be in the White House. This legislative push also comes amid growing concern in Congress about the limits of presidential authority when it comes to shaping the physical and cultural footprint of the government.

The proposal follows a series of changes that have placed Donald Trump’s name on institutions that previously stood apart from political identity. One of the most prominent changes happened in December, when the board of trustees for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts–composed entirely of Trump appointees–voted to rename the venue. Signage on the building was updated, and the institution now carries a dual name. The decision got immediate condemnation from the Kennedy family.
