Resolution Criteria:

1. Definition of "Renamed":
   The Gulf of Mexico will be considered "renamed" if its official name, as recognized by the United States federal government, is changed to a name different from "Gulf of Mexico."

2. Sources of Resolution:
   Resolution will rely on official government documents, such as:

   • A formal proclamation or executive order from the President.

   • Legislative action passed by Congress and signed into law by the President.

   • Official updates to United States Geological Survey (USGS) or Department of the Interior documentation reflecting the new name.

3. Clarity of Change:

   • The new name must be explicitly declared as the official name of the body of water currently known as the Gulf of Mexico.

   • Informal, colloquial, or symbolic references (e.g., public nicknames, marketing campaigns) will not count.

4. Disqualification:

   • Proposals, discussions, or attempts to rename the Gulf of Mexico that do not result in a finalized change will not resolve as a "Yes."

   • Changes recognized only by non-U.S. entities, international organizations, or foreign governments will not count unless also formally adopted by the U.S. government.

Resolution:

• YES: If the Gulf of Mexico is officially renamed by the U.S. federal government during the Trump presidency.

• NO: If no such renaming occurs by the end of the Trump presidency.
