The bald eagle, a symbol of the power and strength of the United States for more than 240 years, earned an overdue honor on Tuesday: It officially became the country's national bird. President Joe Biden signed into law legislation sent to him by Congress that amends the United States Code to correct what had long gone unnoticed
President Joe Biden signed a bill into law on March 20, 2024, officially designating the bald eagle as the national bird of the United States. This legislative action, which was passed unanimously by both the House and Senate, formalizes the symbolic status of the bald eagle, a bird long associated with American freedom and strength. The bald eagle was originally chosen as the emblem for the Great Seal of the United States in 1782, but this new law cements its role in national symbolism. The bill's passage reflects a bipartisan effort to honor the bald eagle's representation of American values and its recovery from near extinction, thanks to conservation efforts like the Endangered Species Act.
