Rep. Debbie Dingell says she will introduce legislation aimed at overturning President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming Lake Ontario as “Lake America.” The proposed one-page bill, described as the “Hands Off Our Great Lakes Act,” would state that the executive order “shall have no force or effect” and would “restore the name of Lake Ontario,” according to documents referenced by outlets.
The two reports characterize the move as a Democratic effort to reverse what they describe as the president’s order. They do not indicate that the bill has yet been enacted, nor do they describe a specific legal timeline for congressional action. Fox News frames the proposal as placing the name change “in the crosshairs,” while The Hill describes the bill’s language and purpose. Neither outlet provides additional details on supporters, opponents, or the administration’s response.
