Four Democrats have submitted amendments in a bid to upend the legislation — though none are likely to pass, given the committee's Republican majority.
The first measure, led by Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., would revert a similar Trump decision to rename Mt. McKinley in Alaska. The highest peak in North America, former President Barack Obama stripped his assassinated predecessor's name from the mountain in favor of Mt. Denali, the name originally given by the indigenous peoples who lived in the area.
Trump signed an executive order restoring McKinley as its name on his first day in office this year.

Rivas told Fox News Digital that the Gulf of America rename is a "vanity project" that "accomplishes nothing" in response to the White House statement.
"Millions of Americans are struggling because of President Trump’s economic policies, and Republicans in Congress have yet to put forth a legislative proposal that lowers the costs of groceries, protects healthcare, or lowers housing costs," Rivas said.
The bill itself is expected to get a vote sometime this week.

It's one of several pieces of legislation House Republicans are advancing aimed at making Trump's executive actions permanent.
Trump's executive order renaming the gulf was one of the first actions he took in his second term.
The remaining three Democratic offices who Fox News Digital reached for comment did not get back by press time.
