Congress passes bill to rename U.S. courthouse after Bush presidents
The Senate on Tuesday passed a bill to rename a U.S. courthouse in Midland, Texas after former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.
The House of Representatives approved the legislation in 2011, meaning the measure needs only the president’s signature to take effect.
The bill, originally sponsored by Rep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas), will rename the federal building and courthouse at 200 East Wall Street in Midland as the “George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush United States Courthouse and George Mahon Federal Building.”
