Gulf of America - Gulf of Mexico

President Donald Trump just said during his inauguration that he wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Aside from the political aspects, how does that even work? How does OSM choose a source for that? I’m curious! Also, somebody executed what I thought while I wrote this post:

    What the hell is “the ground rule”? Naming is artificially defining things and as that basically arbitrary.

        How would that even fit here? If the US changes the name there would be two names that fit that description (which isn’t uncommon at all tbh).
