The U.S. House of Representatives voted to rename a post office. This post office is in Plains, Georgia, the hometown of former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn. The vote was to decide whether to name the building the "Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Post Office."

To pass, the bill required more than two-thirds of the votes in favor. The House agreed, so the post office will now be officially called the "Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Post Office." This change is a way to honor the Carters and recognize their impact, both nationally and locally, by marking a special place in the town where they have strong ties.

This is a bill to rename a post office in Plains, Georgia to the "Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Post Office". The building is located at 119 Main Street. Once the name change is official, any mention of the post office in official records, laws, documents, or maps will refer to it as the "Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Post Office".
