Biden Signs Bill on December 24, 2024, Making Bald Eagle Official National Bird of U.S. After Unanimous Congressional Support
Dec 25, 2024, 02:30 PM
President Joe Biden has signed a bill officially designating the bald eagle as the national bird of the United States. The legislation, which amends the United States Code, was passed by Congress with unanimous support. The bald eagle has long served as a symbol of American power and strength, having appeared on the Great Seal of the United States since 1782. Despite its historical significance, the bird had not been legally recognized as the national bird until now. This bill was signed into law on December 24, 2024, marking an important milestone in the formal acknowledgment of a symbol that has represented the nation for over 240 years.
