The legislation comes after President Donald Trump ordered last month for the name to be changed back to Mount McKinley.
President Trump’s executive order to rename the Alaska peak — North America’s highest — perplexes and worries many who live in its snow-shrouded midst.
A GOP leader filed a resolution encouraging Tennessee teachers to use the names Gulf of America and Mount McKinley when speaking with their students about map locations rebranded by President Donald Trump.
Senator Murkowski claimed that her bill was not a "political issue" because Alaskans from "every walk of life" have been pushing for the mountain to be "recognized by its true name."
They explained their reason why in a viral thread, saying: "We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.'s authority to rename it is ambiguous."
The Associated Press sued Friday over restrictions to its White House access after it didn't adopt the administration's "Gulf of America" name change.
The FAA announced on Monday it will change the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and Mount Denali to Mount McKinley.
