Marjorie Taylor Greene quickly proposes legislation to rename the Gulf of Mexico the 'Gulf of America'.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., quickly proposed legislation to rename the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America" following President-elect Donald Trump's announcement on Tuesday.

Trump declared that the Gulf of America would be renamed after exclaiming, "What a beautiful name."

Greene promptly declared that she would soon propose a bill to rename the water body.

She released the proposal text on Tuesday and stated that it would be filed on Thursday morning.

The Gulf of Mexico will be renamed the 'Gulf of America' as per the proposal, which requires updating federal documents and maps.

Greene stated that Mexican cartels are currently using the Gulf of Mexico to smuggle humans, drugs, and weapons, with the Mexican government turning a blind eye.

"The Gulf of America is our rightful name and it should be referred to as such. We have the bill ready to file first thing Thursday morning, and our U.S. armed forces protect the area from any military threats from foreign countries. The American people are footing the bill to protect and secure the maritime waterways for commerce to be conducted."

After Trump's announcement, other lawmakers joined the "Gulf of America" movement.

In a post on X, Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., invited people to "visit our stunning district and take a dip in the Gulf of AMERICA!"

Rep. Barry Moore, R-Ala., proudly declared on Twitter that he represents Alabama's First District in the stunning Gulf of America.

"Alabamians recognize the significance of the Gulf and Gulf Coast for our nation. The Gulf of AMERICA is a fitting name for this vital region," Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., stated in a post.

In less than two weeks, Trump will be inaugurated on Jan. 20 and assume office.
