Biden Signs Legislation Designating Bald Eagle as National Bird of the U.S. Since 1782
Dec 25, 2024, 02:22 AM
President Joe Biden has signed legislation that officially designates the bald eagle as the national bird of the United States. This bill amends the United States Code to formalize the bird's status, which has been a symbol of American power since it was first adopted as a national emblem in 1782. The signing of this bill marks a significant step in recognizing the bald eagle's longstanding representation of the nation, although it had not been officially designated as the national bird until now. The legislation was sent to Biden by Congress and has now become law.
