TL;DR Summary

Trump floated renaming New Mexico to 'New America,' but the change would require a state constitutional amendment approved by voters; at most, federal agencies could refer to the state as 'New America' without altering its legal name, and Congress does not oversee state-name changes, making a true rebrand unlikely.
