U.S. House Renames Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' in Baffling Vote

The U.S. House has officially voted to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, making history—and possibly confusing every map, textbook, and beach t-shirt vendor. If you thought geography classes were tough before, brace yourself for a tidal wave of bewilderment as 'Gulf of America' enters the lexicon.
If the Senate approves, agencies from NOAA to NASA must swap out “Gulf of Mexico” for “Gulf of America” on every federal map, database, and hurricane tracking site—fueling a surge in “U.S. political controversy” searches and turbocharging the meme economy overnight.
