A joint resolution redesignating the Robert E. Lee Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery as the "Arlington House National Historic Site".

Bill 118 SJRes 35, also known as a joint resolution redesignating the Robert E. Lee Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery as the "Arlington House National Historic Site," was introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to change the name of the memorial to better reflect the historical significance of the site.

The Robert E. Lee Memorial, located within Arlington National Cemetery, has long been a controversial symbol due to its association with the Confederate general. By redesignating it as the "Arlington House National Historic Site," the bill aims to shift the focus away from Lee and instead highlight the historical importance of the site itself.

The bill has garnered support from both Democrats and Republicans, with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle recognizing the need to update the name of the memorial. Proponents of the bill argue that the new name will better reflect the site's history as the former home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, as well as its significance as a national historic landmark. If passed, the bill would officially change the name of the Robert E. Lee Memorial to the "Arlington House National Historic Site," signaling a shift in how the site is perceived and remembered. The bill is currently under consideration in Congress, and its fate will ultimately be decided by lawmakers in the coming months.
