Awards 3 gold medals to Trump, Secret Service, local police.
Rep. Fuller (R-AR), referred to Financial Services Committee.
Introduced in House, no vote yet.
This bill would authorize three Congressional Gold Medals for President Donald Trump, the U.S. Secret Service, and local law enforcement partners for their roles in responding to assassination attempts in 2024 and 2026. The House Committee on Financial Services oversees the bill; it can advance to a floor vote or stall in committee.
Introduced Apr 30, 2026
This bill has been introduced in its chamber of Congress. It has been assigned a bill number and referred to a committee for review. Most bills never advance past this stage. The committee may hold hearings, gather expert testimony, and amend the bill before deciding whether to send it to the full chamber for a vote.
The gold medals would be paid for from the U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund—essentially taxpayer money. Bronze copies can be sold to the public, with proceeds returning to the Mint. This is a symbolic honor; it doesn't change laws or affect your finances beyond the potential cost of medal production.
Supporters Say
Supporters say it honors bravery and sacrifice in protecting a president from assassination attempts.
Critics Say
Critics argue it uses taxpayer money for partisan recognition and inflates the role of President Trump in security incidents.
The bill's findings explicitly blame 'violent political rhetoric' for the attacks, which supporters see as a needed condemnation. Critics question the need for three separate medals and note that similar honors have been given to other officials, but the inclusion of a specific president is rare.
