Yeah, you would think if Republicans had control of either the house or the senate, they would have immediately passed a referendum reminding the President that Mt. McKinley's name was established by law, and that as President he is sworn to uphold the laws.
Now he is going to pull the same crap with the Iran treaty.
I also clearly recall one of the first FR threads I read back in 2001 (when I first joined the forum), of an unnamed Clintonista who sneered, "It'll take them years to undo what we've done..."
What good is Obama’s legacy, if everything is reversed by the next president with a stroke of HIS pen.
Besides, not a chance in hell that the dem will win Alaska! I don’t think it has voted for a dem for prez since they have been a state!
Even if that guy was OBL, which many don’t believe it was, he had zero to do with it.
His magic pen must be stopped.

I better never run into this traitor on the street. For MY sake, I don’t care about his.
You and me both brother.
I am glad to see this thread, because that is the first question that occurred to me when this new controversy first appeared: How have mountains, rivers, physical geographical features traditionally been "named?" worldwide, as well as nationally?
Clearly, it can't be a political process, subject to the whims of each new administration in any and all countries of the world? That sounds like chaos.
We take many things to be self-evident. People never give it a second thought, because it is so irrational to do otherwise that it would make the ridiculed Idiocracy a reality.
I assume that among adults with average intelligence and education it would be common knowledge that to know that no tedious explanations or justifications should be necessary to justify stability and permanence to certain things about our entire country, and even about our immediate neighborhood.
If it takes a law to name very prominent geographic feature world wide, which should a sociopathic megalomaniac be allowed, yes, allowed to take it upon himself to change 225 years of cultural history?
I know that it is a trivial issue compared to more pressing monumental stupidities we are all laboring under.
Imagine if the Kennedy Airport name were unexpectedly changed to Al Sharpie International Airport, where would all the flights in the air land?
Hey Congress, you snooze you lose! We all lose. How much insanity is tolerable?
Who pays for the stupidity? How many documents, forms, computer programs, maps, books, schedules, phone books ad infinitum would have to be changed? All to satisfy the whims of the insane?
Ridiculous question.
Why would anything be named after a queer pro-sodomy Supreme Court Justice who is still alive?
I have lived in Alaska since before statehood. It’s always been McKinley.
