Mount Rushmore Protection Act
Summary
The Mount Rushmore Protection Act would prohibit the use of federal funds to modify, remove, or rename any of the faces or features of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota. This legislation aims to ensure the monument remains in its current form by preventing any federal spending on efforts to alter the likenesses of the four presidents depicted. For the public, this means the physical appearance and official designation of the memorial would be legally protected from administrative or structural changes.
