Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The Earn it First Act of 2026 prohibits a sitting President or anyone acting on the President's behalf from naming or designating public buildings after that President while in office. The law applies to any federal building administered by a government agency as well as any building or facility operated by organizations that receive federal funding. This restriction remains in effect for the duration of the President's term. The bill effectively requires that a President wait until after leaving office before public facilities can be named in their honor. No funding or implementation timeline is specified in the legislation.
