Trump is going to rename it to Mt Trump. This is the only way to remind DEM that president should not have unilateral power to rename mountains

Obama should have gone to congress and get everyone to vote on it, instead of renaming it himself. What this tells me is that President have unilateral power to rename mountain and open to abuse. President Trump is going to rename that mountain to Mount Trump

One Congressman has already called BS on this even being legal for Obama to do without Congress.

"Perhaps we should change the name of Barack Hussein Obama. I’ve no ideas right now; anyone else just jump right in."

Better to leave it as is so that he be remembered for what he is.

I remember noting some years ago that the park was called Denali while the mountain was called Mt. McKinley and thinking now there is a nice compromise that everyone can support. Silly me ... the left never stops whining.
