If the federal government has to use the changed name, why do so few agencies not use Golf of America? FAA still uses Golf of Mexico
Takes time to switch. Normally these things would be done sensibly and with enough time allocated for the changeover, not by an executive order that's active immediately and may or may not actually be something the president even has authority to do.
