Trump\u2019s latest vanity project would require changing law that prohibits any living person from appearing on US currency \u2013 key US politics stories from Thursday 28 May
Donald Trump\u2019s latest vanity project: putting his own face on US currency.
The White House is pushing Congress to approve a $250 bill bearing the president\u2019s portrait, the US treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, said, which would require changing longstanding federal law that prohibits any living person from appearing on US currency.
At a news conference on Thursday, Bessent said the bill would be in celebration of the country\u2019s 250th anniversary of independence, and that the treasury has already started preparing for the possibility of the new currency. But Bessent said the treasury would \u201cstick to the law\u201d and that \u201cit\u2019s all up to Capitol Hill\u201d.
The legislation would need a simple majority in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives but would be unlikely to garner the 60 votes necessary in the Senate, where Republicans hold 53 seats.
Hakeem Jeffries, the top US House Democrat, immediately derided the proposal, writing on X that it was a \u201chard no on a Trump $250 bill\u201d.
\u201cGet over yourself,\u201d Jeffries wrote. \u201cThe upcoming July 4th anniversary is not about a wannabe King. It\u2019s about celebrating the American journey.\u201d
