The House Rules Commitee is scheduled to vote on advancing the bill, which, if passed, would require that all references to the Gulf of Mexico in federal documents be replaced with &#8220;Gulf of America&#8221; within 180 days. While the bill is expected to pass in the House, it faces challenges in the Senate, where it would need 60 votes to progress.
