Ending Presidential Power Over National Monuments: Congress Decides

This bill changes the rules for creating and expanding national monuments. From now on, only Congress, not the president, will be able to decide on their establishment. This means greater citizen control through their representatives in Congress over the designation of public lands.
Key points
The President loses the sole ability to create new national monuments or expand existing ones.
Decisions on national monuments will be made by Congress, increasing citizen influence through their elected representatives.
