Summary of Bill HR 792
Bill 119 HR 792, also known as the "Mount Rushmore Carving of President Donald J. Trump Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that would direct the Secretary of the Interior to arrange for the carving of a figure of President Donald J. Trump on Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
Mount Rushmore National Memorial, located in South Dakota, currently features the carved faces of four former US presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. The addition of President Trump's figure would be a significant and controversial change to the iconic monument.
Supporters of the bill argue that President Trump deserves to be honored alongside other notable presidents on Mount Rushmore. They believe that his accomplishments and contributions to the country warrant his inclusion on the monument. Opponents of the bill, however, argue that adding President Trump's figure to Mount Rushmore would be a divisive and politically motivated decision. They believe that the monument should remain dedicated to the four presidents already carved on it and that adding President Trump's figure would set a dangerous precedent for future additions. If passed, the bill would require the Secretary of the Interior to oversee the carving process and ensure that it is done in a manner that is respectful to the existing monument and its historical significance. The cost and logistics of adding President Trump's figure to Mount Rushmore would also need to be determined. Overall, the proposed legislation to carve President Trump's figure on Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a contentious and polarizing issue that has sparked debate among lawmakers and the public.
