The President of the United States signed 50 bills into law on Christmas Eve, addressing issues ranging from child abuse prevention to anti-corruption measures. Here are some highlights: Bald Eagle Officially Named National Bird Among the bills, Senate Bill 4610 officially designated the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) as the U.S. national bird, amending Chapter 3 of the U.S. Code. The bald eagle has symbolized American resilience since 1782. Paris Hilton Champions Child Abuse Prevention The Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act, backed by Paris Hilton, allocates federal funding to investigate abuse in youth residential programs. Hilton has been outspoken about her own experiences at such facilities. Protecting Native American Children The Native American Child Protection Act seeks to reduce abuse rates among Indigenous children by creating a National Indian Child Resource and Family Services Center. The center will provide training, support, and investigations into family violence cases. First Federal Anti-Hazing Law Enacted The Stop Campus Hazing Act requires colleges to report hazing incidents to authorities. Julie and Gary DeVercelly Sr., whose son died in a 2007 hazing incident, applauded the bill, calling it a step toward preventing similar tragedies. Ending Pensions for Convicted Officials The No CORRUPTION Act ensures members of Congress convicted of crimes related to public corruption lose their taxpayer-funded pensions. Previously, pensions could continue until all appeals were exhausted. #ThePresident #ChristmasEve #USPolitics #BaldEagle #NationalBird #ParisHilton #ChildAbusePrevention #YouthPrograms #NativeAmericanRights #IndigenousChildren #HazingPrevention #StopCampusHazing #AntiHazingLaw #NoCorruption #GovernmentAccountability #USCongress #FederalLaws #WhiteHouse #AmericanSymbol #Eagle #ChildProtection #Legislation #IndigenousRights #PublicCorruption #SenateBill #USCode #PolicyChange #SocialJustice #CapitolHill #PresidentialActions
