On Sunday, President Obamas administration announced that he would, by executive order, change the name of Mount McKinley to Mount Denali. He did not explain the decision, which frustrated Ohio legislators upset at the slap at President William McKinleys legacy; he is expected to speak on the topic today in Anchorage.

Maybe President Trump will go to Hawaii and rename Mauna Loa as Mount Palin.
I doubt they even know who he was, and if so, Hussein and his minions couldn’t spell his name. ;-)
States are not territories.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 addresses land within states.
So he could put spinners at the base.
Or, possibly, free advertising for Government Motors.
He should have renamed the mountain Denial, not Denali.
Mount Denial should be his legacy because he is the Great Denier who denies America’s greatness, denies America’s exceptionalism, denies America’s critical role in the world, denies the primary of the U.S. Constitution, denies the rightful role for Congress, denies the power of the Supreme Court and all courts, denies the careful balance that is part of America’s political system, denies the central role of of God and Christianity in America, denies the central role of the family in the preservation of civilization.
Most of all Obama denies the reality of who he is, an anti-American, racist, Muslim-sympathizer, if not actual Muslim, who is deliberately violating his oath to uphold the Constitution, destroying our nation and destablizing the world.
I am for renaming Ohio, Obama.
They elected him, let them live with it.
I think they meant Denial but misspelled it.
He was going to name it Escalade but his aides convinced him it might be seen as excessive
IronJack Renames Obama “Denial-lie.”
While we do not undertake to say that Congress has the unlimited power to legislate against nuisances within a State, which it would have within a Territory, we do not think the admission of a Territory as a State deprives it of the power of legislating for the protection of the public lands, though it may thereby involve the exercise of what is ordinarily known as the police power, so long as such power is directed solely to its own protection. A different rule would place the public domain of the United States completely at the mercy of state legislation. Camfield v. United States (1897) US Supreme Court [Emphasis added].
“Alaska can stop Obama is his tracks. “
Alaska has been calling it Danali for years. My Alaskan friends are saying ‘FINALLY’.
Alaska has been petitioning the feds to call it Denali since 1975.
The Interior department refused to oblige. The representatives from McKinley’s birthplace district keep bills in congress to keep it McKinley.
Let's compile a list... we have hundreds of St.'s and San's which must be offensive to the Planned Parenthood crowd, not to mention Bethlehem PA, Salem (as in JeruSALEM) MA or even White Plains NY.
And that ain't a river in Egypt.
Darn, you beat me to the joke!
And HYPHEN it on weekends, when you have extra letters to spell with.
The BIG issue is ownership of Denali Park which is unconstitutionally in federal hand and should be reclaimed by Alaska.
Alaska wants to name it Denali.
I see little constitutional justification for the reasoning in Camfield. MANY states are territories before they become states. The issue is that once a territory becomes a state, Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 controls.
Right, but the BIG issue is OWNERSHIP of Denali Park which is unconstitutionally in federal hands and should be reclaimed by Alaska.
