The US House of Representatives has passed a bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America

On the 8th local time, the US House of Representatives passed a bill to rename "Gulf of Mexico" as "Gulf of America". In the voting on that day, there were 211 votes in favor and 206 votes against. The voting results were basically based on party lines, with one Republican congressman joining the Democratic camp to vote against it. The bill requires federal agencies to rename all maps and documents from "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America". Next, the Senate will review the bill. If the bill is passed in the Senate, it will officially become law after being signed by the President. Democrats believe that there is a lot of important work to be done in the House of Representatives, and Republicans should not waste their time voting on this' stupid, awkward 'bill.
