Section 1 National anthem
Findings— Congress finds the following:
America the Beautiful is an anthem that far better represents the scope and majesty of the geography of the United States of America as well as the principles of freedom, liberty, fraternity, and progress that are the unifying beliefs of our democracy.
America the Beautiful enshrines the sacrifice of those who have given their lives to create and preserve our democracy.
America the Beautiful should replace the Star-Spangled Banner as the national anthem.
Amendment— Section 301(a) of title 36, United States Code, is amended to read as follows:
“(a) Designation—The composition consisting of the words and music known as America the Beautiful is the national anthem.”
