Nadler Introduces Bill To Ban Donald Trump’s Name From Federal BuildingsWatch Congressman Nadler’s PROTECT Act Video HERE Congressman Jerrold Nadler is the author of the House-passed Articles of Impeachment against Donald Trump and was a House Impeachment manager during Trump’s first impeachment trial in the Senate. Now, he is holding Trump accountable for defacing federal property.
The PROTECT Act comes after new reporting that the Trump administration is secretly negotiating to rebuild Penn Station. Since Trump’s inauguration, he has illegally renamed numerous federal buildings and draped his face over even more, despite public outcry and pending legal actions. In February 2026, Donald Trump reportedly weaponized funding for New York’s Gateway Tunnel Project to pressure lawmakers into renaming New York City’s Penn Station.
“Donald Trump is a convicted felon, a twice impeached president, and America’s chief insurrectionist. His name is unfit to honor our nation’s buildings,” said Congressman Jerrold Nadler. “I am proud to introduce this bill to stop Donald Trump from using taxpayer-funded buildings for his personal vanity projects, because New Yorkers deserve public spaces that they can respect, not monuments to tyranny and corruption.”
