ROCHESTER, N.Y. — On Monday, Congressman Joe Morelle introduced the “Hands Off Our Great Lakes Act.” The legislation aims to stop President Donald Trump’s executive order that renamed Lake Ontario to Lake America and to protect the names of the five Great Lakes.
The legislation aims not only to stop the president but also to prevent any federal official acting under presidential authority from changing the names of the Great Lakes.
The legislation is co-led by Congresswoman Debbie Dingell and Congressman Tim Kennedy.
“Lake Ontario is Lake Ontario. No executive order, proclamation, or presidential temper tantrum is going to change that. Families are worried about paying their bills. Businesses are looking for certainty. Communities like ours are asking Washington to focus on the challenges that actually affect people’s lives. And Donald Trump is spending his time trying to rename a lake.
“This is ridiculous, it’s embarrassing, and it’s exactly the kind of unserious distraction Americans are tired of. President Trump can play games with a map all he wants, but I’m not going to stand by while he wastes the authority and resources of the federal government doing it.
“Here in Rochester, we’ll keep calling it Lake Ontario. And in Congress, I’m working with my colleagues to make sure it stays that way.”
The name of the executive order is called Executive Order 14422, and was signed on Thursday.
