This bill simply renames a federal building. It does not expand federal power, restrict any rights, or affect individual sovereignty. It passes all five constitutional checks with no issues.

• ✓ Passes · Enumerated powers
  Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 grants Congress the power to establish Post Offices. Naming a postal facility is a routine exercise of that enumerated power and does not exceed it.
• ✓ Passes · Bill of Rights
  The bill does not regulate speech, religion, assembly, press, petition, arms, quartering, search and seizure, self-incrimination, due process, takings, trial rights, jury rights, cruel and unusual punishment, unenumerated rights, or reserved powers. No amendment is implicated.

• ✓ Passes · Due process and takings
  The bill does not deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, nor does it take private property for public use. No due process or takings issue arises.
