U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) has introduced two new bills aimed at codifying executive orders from former President Trump. This initiative adds to a total of ten executive orders from the Trump administration that Rep. Steube has sought to enshrine into law since the beginning of the 119th Congress.
"There is a reason the American people elected Republican majorities to Congress alongside President Trump last November: they want the America First agenda passed and signed into law," said Rep. Steube. "That is why I have proposed codifying two more of Trump’s executive orders. Whether it be protecting school choice or honoring America’s history, the Trump administration has taken bold steps to restore greatness to our country. It’s time for Republicans on Capitol Hill to preserve President Trump’s legacy by codifying his executive actions into law."
The proposed legislation includes:
- The Expanding Educational Freedom and Opportunity for Families Act, which aims to codify Executive Order 14191, providing families with new opportunities to select schools that best meet their children's needs.
- The Restoring Names of American Greatness Act, intended to codify Executive Order 14172, focuses on renaming national landmarks and treasures in honor of "visionary and patriotic Americans." This bill would require federal agencies represented on the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) to review and potentially replace their current BGN representatives with individuals who support renaming iconic landmarks and art in honor of heroic Americans.
