Co-sponsored by Rep. Troy Nehls, the bill aims for \u2063all $100 bills printed after December 31, 2028, to \u2063showcase Trump&#8217;s image. \u2063Gill argues \u200dthat this move would honor Trump&#8217;s contributions to \u2062the country, including \u200dhis efforts in securing borders and advancing U.S. interests.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal has <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">generated significant backlash online<\/a>, even among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/liberal-modernity-and-its-discontents\/\" title=\"Liberal Modernity and Its Discontents\">conservative circles<\/a>, with critics \u2062labeling it as a publicity stunt rather than a meaningful legislative effort.Several\u200c others, including Rep. Joe Wilson,are also advocating for similar measures,such as a $250 bill\u200c featuring Trump,but these ideas have been received with\u2064 skepticism.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, U.S.law currently prohibits living \u2062individuals from being depicted on \u2062currency, casting doubt on the feasibility of the proposal. The last \u200bchange \u2063to dollar bill portraits occurred in 1929, and \u2063previous efforts to replace Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman have stalled.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">House Republican introduces measure to put Trump&rsquo;s face on $100 bill<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2024367\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3241837\/capitol-new-crop-four-house-republicans-maga-champions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Brandon Gill\">Brandon Gill<\/a> (R-TX) has introduced legislation to put President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump's\">Donald Trump&rsquo;s<\/a> face on the $100 bill.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Gill&rsquo;s bill is the latest of many Republican efforts to enshrine Trump&rsquo;s legacy in some way.
