Isn't the Arlington thing a smaller part of a proposal that would prevent any government property or memorial from being name after Trump? It seems like there wouldn't be a Trump presidential library anymore if that were the case.

The thing with the codes is that they are just authorization codes. It doesnt launch the nukes. It just tells the guys in South Dakota that the president actually said launch instead of a voice on the phone.
Its just one piece if the puzzle in launching nukes it directly involved dozens of commanders and even a few peons to sanity check a 2am “launch everything” order from an ill president.

I'd like to say I'm amazed at how myopic they are for bringing that bill, given how republicans would immediately use it against them the next time they take they house, since they can just push through 2 quick impeachments of any and all democratic executive officials (of course the democrats are also probably crazy enough to think there's no chance of republicans taking over the house ever again, which yes they'll also try to use government powers to prevent).
I'd also like to say I'm amazed at how brazenly they seek to violate the constitution with it.
But I'm not amazed by either of those things. It's basically the status quo from them at this point (not that republicans are that much better).
It's really ridiculous since it's not likely Trump dies in any time frame where it would even be a thing, and in the extremely likely event Republicans win back Congress, possibly as early as the midterms the way things are going, they'll just change it back. As it is, though, it's just a House Resolution, which does absolutely nothing, isn't binding law, and just expresses the opinion of the House itself. Considering how petty they've been about this you can bet the first thing a Republican Congress is going to do is start naming shit after Trump just to piss them off.
Isn't it unconstitutional to name things after a living person, or is that only with regards to putting a living person on the currency?
There's nothing in the Constitution about it. It's just the law.
(quarters)
And the "In God We Trust" you see some places is also the law, and for some coins this has a 2-year period after their death they have to wait.
(commemorative dollar coins for Presidents)
Also look at this nonsense:
(this subsection is about commemorative quarters for D.C. and territories)
(these are those state quarters you may remember)
(commemorative coins honoring innovators and I do not remember a single one of these)
Anyway this is just one statute about coins. There are all kinds of others about coins and paper currency, and perhaps other similar things.
This doesn't apply to everything, obviously. Where it's prohibited to use an image of a living person, or name something after them, that would be very explicit and specific. For instance, there used to be a prohibition against living people appearing on stamps. This wasn't actually a law, though, it was just a rule of the U.S. Postal Service that they ended in 2011.
One very obvious example of naming something after a living person is when Bill Clinton signed a bill changing the name of Washington National Airport to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to honor Ronald Reagan on his 87th birthday. And in fact, a large federal office building had already been named after him, the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. Reagan is only one of many who has had federal buildings named after him while alive, though.

At this point i wonder if Trump's team could founter sue dems for harassment.
True, but the bill in question is H.R., which is a proposed law, while H.Res. is what a proposed resolution is.
Add to the list of my retardations, and I should have known this, too. Yes, it's an actual fucking bill. It's still probably stuck in its subcommittee and will be a huge embarrassment if it ever sees the light of day, and will be reversed by the next Republican Congress, now that the Democrats have telegraphed how utterly mad the Democrats are at the very concept of any federal building named after Trump.
"H.R." stands for "House of Representatives" *facepalms at my own stupidity*
At this point, it's fairly obvious any House resolutions or lawsuits against Trump are little more than political theater and empty virtue signaling.
My personal guess is that Trump's going to retire and just spend the rest of his days in Florida. At most, I can see him endorse certain GOP candidates in the 2022 midterms and 2024, maybe the 2026 midterm if he's alive and healthy enough, but that's it.
Otherwise, Trump is done with politics.

They apparently have plans for a privately-funded one, but the journoscum REEE'd about that, too, because it might archive evidence contrary to the Orange Man Baddest Bad to Ever Bad narrative.
I'm sure there are federal funds for Presidential Libraries, but that doesn't mean if denied them Trump just can't drop his own cash on one, on land he owns.
They should be careful.
If the right takes the House, they only have to do one impeachment on Clinton.
Just one.
Wonder how they'd reeeee to that.

Sadly they'll be too cucked to touch the left unless they are trumpublican house and senate appointes.
Fortunately, it seems like a non-negligible number are, well, in the house.
