Restoring Names of American Greatness Act of 2025

Restoring Names of American Greatness Act of 2025 would take already-issued Executive Order 14172 and turn at least its Section 2 into statutory law. In other words, it would give the provisions of Section 2 of EO 14172 the same legal force as a statute passed by Congress. The bill is titled to reflect its purpose of “restoring names that honor American greatness,” and it is a straightforward codification rather than a bill proposing new policy beyond what the EO already directs. Introduced by Rep. Steube on July 17, 2025, the measure was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources and has no other provisions beyond codification in the text provided. What this means in practice is that the federal government would be required to follow the naming-related directives contained in Section 2 of EO 14172 as if those directives were enacted statute. The bill itself does not spell out the specific naming changes; it relies on the content of EO 14172 for those details.
