A bill to redesignate the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center in Casper, Wyoming, as the "Barbara L. Cubin National Historic Trails Interpretive Center".

Enumerated powers · passes

The federal government has clear authority under the Property Clause (Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2) to manage and name facilities on federal public lands. This action falls squarely within that enumerated power.

Bill of Rights · passes

Renaming a federal building does not infringe any right protected by the First through Tenth Amendments. No speech, religion, assembly, press, petition, arms, quartering, search and seizure, self-incrimination, due process, takings, trial, jury, cruel and unusual punishment, unenumerated rights, or reserved powers are affected.

Individual liberty · passes

The bill imposes no restriction on any person's person, property, speech, labor, or belief. It does not command, forbid, or penalize any individual conduct. The burden on government to justify a restriction is not triggered because no restriction exists.

Decentralization · passes

The naming of a federal facility on federal land is a matter of federal administration. An individual or family could not handle this (the center is federal property), a local community could not rename a federal facility, and a state could not rename a federal facility. However, this is not a consolidation of decision-making upward because the facility is already federal property under federal jurisdiction. The Tenth Amendment is not violated because the federal government is acting within its enumerated property power.

Due process and takings · passes

The bill does not deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process, nor does it take private property for public use without just compensation. It is a purely administrative naming action with no adverse effect on any person's legal rights or property interests.
