White House NOT FOR SALE Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committee on Natural Resources, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Latest action on H.R. 5786: Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committee on Natural Resources, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects anyone who wants to place a name, ad, plaque, engraving, or memorial-style display at the White House or on its grounds. It also affects White House officials and preservation staff who review those displays. House leaders would gain a formal role in approving or rejecting them.
Why this matters: The bill matters because it would set clearer limits on private names, ads, and branding at the White House. Today, the bill’s sponsors are trying to prevent the building and grounds from being used for naming rights or promotional displays. The bill would also bring some memorial-style displays under the same federal process used for monuments and memorials elsewhere in Washington, D.C. Its real impact would depend on how often these displays are proposed and how strictly officials apply the rules.

The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
