S. 3622: Stop Executive Renaming for Vanity and Ego Act

This bill, known as the "Stop Executive Renaming for Vanity and Ego Act," aims to prohibit the naming or renaming of any federal buildings, land, or assets in the name of a sitting President. The key provisions of the bill are as follows:

Prohibition on Naming

The bill establishes a clear rule that:

• No federal building, land, or other asset can be named, renamed, designated, or redesignated in the name of a sitting President.
• No federal funds may be allocated for the purpose of naming, renaming, designating, or redesignating any federal building, land, or asset in the name of a sitting President.

Returning Names to Previous Designations

If any federal property is already named after a sitting President at the time the bill is enacted, the bill mandates that those properties shall revert to the name they held prior to this designation. This means that any name changes made while the person was serving in office would be undone, and the original names established by federal law would be restored.

Context and Purpose

The intent of this legislation is to prevent what the authors of the bill view as the potential misuse of federal property naming as a way to enhance personal legacy while in office. By restricting such actions, the bill seeks to maintain a level of decorum and impartiality in how federal assets are designated and recognized.

Scope of the Bill

This bill applies to all federal properties, which includes a wide range of assets such as:

• Government buildings (e.g., post offices, courthouses, federal offices)
• National parks and monuments
• Other federally owned land or assets

Legislative Process

The bill was introduced in the United States Senate, where it has been read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs for further consideration.

The bill was introduced on January 13, 2026, as part of ongoing legislative work in the 119th Congress, 2nd session.
