Elise Stefanik (R-NY)
Strengthening America’s Turning Point Act
A Republican bill with 1 Democratic cosponsor · See the cosponsor
Last activity — Presented to President.
On the President's desk
Passed both chambers in the same form and has been sent to the President.
The President has ten days, not counting Sundays, to sign it or send it back. Doing nothing lets it become law — unless Congress adjourns in that time, in which case doing nothing kills it.
Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- Passed House voice vote
- Passed Senate unanimous consent
- To President
No one's position on it was recorded: the House by voice vote (members called out yes or no together), and the Senate by unanimous consent (no one objected, so there was no vote).
The President has until Tuesday, November 24 to sign it or veto it — 10 days from today. Doing neither makes it law without a signature, unless Congress adjourns first, which kills it.
What this bill would do
This bill is known as the ``Strengthening America's Turning Point Act''. The legislation officially changes the name of the Saratoga National Historical Park. Moving forward, it will be known as the Saratoga National Battlefield Park. Any official documents, maps, laws, or records that mention the old name will now be treated as references to the new name.
