A BILL

To award a Congressional Gold Medal to President Donald John Trump, to 
the United States Secret Service, and to its local law enforcement 
partners, in recognition of their dedication to protecting our 
constitutional republican form of government.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ``Congressional Gold Medal For 
Inspiring Great Heroism and Tenacity (FIGHT) Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Recent actions by President Trump, the Secret Service, 
and local law enforcement partners emphasize bravery, 
sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to the safety and 
stability of the United States.
(2) On July 13, 2024, during a peaceful rally in Butler, 
Pennsylvania, President Trump was shot by a gunman who fired 
multiple rounds toward the stage which in addition wounded 
rally attendees and took the life of Corey Comperatore who died 
shielding his family from gunfire.
(3) On September 15, 2024, a second assassination attempt 
was thwarted in West Palm Beach, Florida. The vigilant advance 
work and rapid response of the United States Secret Service 
identified a concealed gunman armed with a scoped rifle. 
Immediate proactive engagement by Secret Service agents 
prevented the assailant from establishing a line of sight on 
President Trump, ensuring his safety and leading to the swift 
apprehension of the suspect by local law enforcement.
(4) On April 25, 2026, an act of political violence was 
prevented during the White House Correspondents' Association 
Dinner at the Washington Hilton in Washington, DC. An assailant 
armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives charged 
the security checkpoint outside the event ballroom. United 
States Secret Service agents fearlessly intercepted the threat. 
Simultaneously, protective details swarmed the ballroom stage 
to shield President Trump, executing a rapid and secure 
evacuation amid chaos.
(5) These incidents reflect a concerning escalation in 
violent political rhetoric that seeks to undermine the 
democratic process by inciting hostility, division, and 
physical violence against political leaders. This reckless 
rhetoric created a dangerous environment that directly 
contributed to the acts of terror witnessed in Pennsylvania, 
Florida, and Washington, DC.
(6) Showing steadfast resolve in the wake of these violent 
incidents, President Trump has demonstrated bravery and 
fortitude, refusing to waver or neglect his duties. His 
unwillingness to bend to those who would do him and our nation 
harm provides vital reassurance to the American people.
(7) The agents assigned to the Secret Service Presidential 
Protective Division put their lives on the line, protecting the 
President every day. The courage, rapid reflexes, and 
dedication displayed by these agents exemplify the highest 
traditions of law enforcement.
(8) Local law enforcement officers and first responders 
serve as an essential and integral part of the Presidential 
protection mission. By securing perimeters, managing massive 
crowds, providing specialized tactical support, executing rapid 
emergency medical responses, and aiding in the swift 
apprehension of violent suspects, State and local police forces 
act as vital force multipliers without which the safe movement 
and protection of the President would be impossible.
(9) The example set by President Trump and the daily 
resolve shown by the United States Secret Service and its local 
law enforcement partners serve to reassure the American people 
that our nation is and will remain strong.
