Women's History Month Proclamation, SCOTUS Says President Cannot Impose Tariffs, America 250 Events, And More
By S.E. Gunn, PhD - All News Pipeline
On March 12, 2026, President Trump signed the Proclamation Women’s History Month, 2026 celebrating our Nation's brave women who strengthened families, enriched culture, defended values, pioneered industries, and helped to shape our Nation's glorious future. President Trump writes:
This month, we recognize and honor the incredible women who have built our Nation, formed our conscience, and elevated our spirit. May their legacies continue to inspire future generations of citizens to strive for excellence, lead proudly, and carry forth the enduring values that make America the greatest country in the history of the world.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 2026 as Women’s History Month. I call upon public officials, educators, librarians, and all the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
The National Women's History Museum explains that Women's History Month began as a Women's History Week in Santa Rosa, California in 1978. The week of March 8 was chosen because it corresponds to International Women's Day. In 1980 President Jimmy Carter issued the first Proclamation declaring the Week of March 8, 1980 as National Women's History Week. Then, in 1987, Congress passed Public Law (PL) 100-9 which designated March as Women's History Month. Since 1995, every President has issued an annual proclamation in March for Women's History Month.
PL 100-9 began it's journey into law as SJRes20 - A joint resolution to designate the month of March, 1987, as "Women's History Month" introduced by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) on January 20, 1987. The bill had 55 cosponsors (24 Republicans & 31 Democrats). The bill passed in the Senate by unanimous consent and was signed into law March 12, 1987 as PL 100-9, 101 STAT 99, SJR20.
It's interesting that Democratic Senators in 1987 championed women at a higher rate than Republicans; yet, in 2026, they are championing men-who-pretend-to-be-women working to force women to allow these men-who-pretend-to-be-women into their private/intimate spaces (like locker rooms, restrooms, etc.) as well as encouraging them to compete against actual women in women's sports (where they have the tremendous advantage of male height, weight, and hormones). Some have called this Democratic sanctioned physical abuse of women since many women have been gravely injured (some to the point where they can no longer participate in sports) since Democrats forced sporting organizations to accept men-who-pretend-to-be-women onto women's teams.
On March 3, 2026, the White House published the statement Presidential Message on Women’s History Month celebrating extraordinary American women of our Nation's past. The White House writes:
For 250 years—from the diligence of Betsy Ross, the faith of Katharine Drexel, and the courage of Amelia Earhart to the ingenuity of Annie Oakley, the selflessness of Clara Barton, and the timeless integrity of Harper Lee—strong women have brought our Nation to countless new heights and moments of triumph. To this day, across every industry, women are champions of success, trailblazers in their fields, and models in their homes. Whether they serve our Nation as service members, government leaders, entrepreneurs, or mothers, every devoted woman guides our Nation’s strength, prosperity, and way of life.
For this reason, my Administration will always promote policies that embolden women, uplift our children, and fortify the American family. Since I returned to office last year, we have increased access to fertility treatments, protected women’s sports, returned parental rights to our classrooms, and expanded the child tax credit—because we want American women and their families to grow, thrive, and flourish. Affordable costs, safer neighborhoods, and common sense in our Government all empower women to build successful careers and foster thriving homes, and my Administration will never stop fighting to ensure the American Dream is within their reach.

On March 12, 2026, the White House published the article The SAVE America Act Is the Most Popular Election Reform in Decades (which has been discussed in my February 3, 2026, February 4, 2026, February 11, 2026, March 10, 2026, and March 11, 2026 ANP Articles). This article reiterates the facts that:
- Voter ID requirements are extremely popular with the American people,
- Voter ID laws have no measurable negative effect on turnout,
- Voting by mail increases the risk of fraud,
- Providing citizenship to vote is a no-brainer, and
- Americans overwhelmingly support the SAVE America Act.
On March 12, 2026, the Office of the First Lady posted the statement First Lady Melania Trump Calls on Women to Be Courageous and Take Risks in which Mrs. Trump spoke of the powerful role women play especially by shaping their children's character, education, and morals. Which would be nice if more women actually played a positive role in their children's' upbringing. Mrs. Trump reminded women to:
Make time for yourself, educate yourself daily, and spread your passion. Be courageous and take risks. Advance your profession through inspiration.
Unfortunately, I think many women today make time for themselves to the exclusion of their families.

JUDGMENT entered by Lara E. Montecalvo, Appellate Judge; Jeffrey R. Howard, Appellate Judge and Seth Robert Aframe, Appellate Judge. 25-1393 Remanded. 25-1631 Remanded. [25-1393, 25-1631] (JW) [Entered: 02/20/2026 04:48 PM]
In the lawsuits Learning Resource, Inc. v. Trump and V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. Trump docket # 24-1287 (discussed in my June 24 2025 ANP Article); 25-250 Appeal of 25-5202 and 25-1812 filed in Supreme Court of the United States on June 17, 2025 about IEEPA Tariffs where Learning Resource Inc. filed a motion for an expedited consideration of writ of certiorari at the Supreme Court, requesting that the highest court take up its challenges to President Trump's Liberation Day tariffs before the lower courts finishing hearing the case. The motion for an expedited consideration was denied. On Sept. 9, the case was consolidated with Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, Inc. On February 20, 2026, Tariffs were overturned. The SCOTUS website states:
Judgment in No. 24-1287 is VACATED and case REMANDED with instructions to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction; the judgment in No. 25-250 is AFFIRMED. Roberts, C. J., announced the judgment of the Court and delivered the opinion of the Court with respect to Parts I, II–A–1, and II–B, in which Sotomayor, Kagan, Gorsuch, Barrett, and Jackson, JJ., joined, and an opinion with respect to Parts II–A–2 and III, in which Gorsuch and Barrett, JJ., joined. Gorsuch, J., and Barrett, J., filed concurring opinions. Kagan, J., filed an opinion concurring in part and concurring in the judgment, in which Sotomayor and Jackson, JJ., joined. Jackson, J., filed an opinion concurring in part and concurring in the judgment. Thomas, J., filed a dissenting opinion. Kavanaugh, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which Thomas and Alito, JJ., joined. VIDED.
In the opinion, SCOTUS writes:
IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs. . . . The Framers gave “Congress alone” the power to impose tariffs during peacetime.
So, according to SCOTUS, Congress has the singular authority to impose tariffs; therefore, the tariffs imposed by President Trump must cease. Unless Congress authorizes said tariffs (and with the difficulty Congress has attempting to gain a majority in order to pass anything President Trump has done, I do not see them acting on the behalf of the US in this matter).
On February 19, 2026, the White House published the statement America 250: Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima commemorating the 81st anniversary of the Battle. The White House writes:
Under a clear morning sky on February 19, 1945, the United States Marines prepared to storm the beaches of Iwo Jima, a remote but heavily fortified island 750 miles from Tokyo. For years, American forces had been locked in a great island-by-island campaign across the Pacific against imperial Japan. Iwo Jima’s capture promised a vital foothold for Allied operations and a critical step toward the enemy’s homeland.
When the first Marines charged ashore, they came under fire from Japanese defenders hidden in bunkers and tunnels carved into the island’s rocky terrain. Determined to take the island, Marines pressed deeper inland over 5 punishing weeks, backed by the thunder of American Naval firepower and fighting yard by yard through smoke, ash, and the fire of guns amid constant shelling and ferocious infantry charges.
As the brutal fight raged on, individual acts of unmatched courage began to define the battle. Among the countless heroes was the legendary Corporal Hershel “Woody” Williams. Tasked with destroying deeply entrenched enemy positions, Woody advanced time and again under intense gunfire, armed with nothing but a flamethrower. For more than 4 hours, he singlehandedly cleared a path for American tanks after the rest of his comrades fell—retreating from the front line five times to resupply before returning and successfully completing his mission. Woody’s extraordinary valor earned him the Medal of Honor. In total, 27 Medals of Honor were awarded for actions at Iwo Jima, the most of any single battle in World War II.
After 36 days of brutal combat, Japanese resistance ended, securing Iwo Jima’s place among the most consequential and hard-fought battles in American history. Early in the campaign, the raising of the Stars and Stripes atop Iwo Jima’s highest peak, Mount Suribachi, became an enduring image—an unmistakable symbol of American resolve, sacrifice, and victory in the Pacific.
Of the 70,000 servicemen who fought at Iwo Jima, nearly 7,000 of America’s finest Marines gave their lives on the island in defense of our freedom—offering the full measure of their devotion to the Republic they served until their very last breath. As we commemorate the Battle of Iwo Jima and as we celebrate 250 years of American independence, we remember the enormous sacrifices of the Greatest Generation, and we renew our solemn promise to honor their legacy by defending the liberties they secured.
On February 23, 2026, the White House published the statement America 250: Presidential Message on the Anniversary of the Battle of the Alamo commemorating the 190th anniversary of the day a small band of patriots defended the Alamo from the Mexican Army. The White House writes:
Following years of authoritarian abuses and repression under the tyrannical rule of Mexican President Santa Anna, growing outrage among Texan settlers erupted into the Texas Revolution in the fall of 1835. Seeking to stop the rebellion and strengthen his grip on power, in February of 1836, Santa Anna marched his troops north to reclaim San Antonio de Béxar from Texan control. At the heart of the city stood the Alamo, a former Mexican mission turned fortress, defended by just over 200 Texan settlers. On February 23, as Mexican forces closed in, the Alamo became their last line of defense.
On that fateful day, more than 1,800 Mexican forces unleashed a bombardment of cannon and musket fire against the defenders of the Alamo. With immortal heroes like William Travis of South Carolina, Kentucky-born Jim Bowie, and Tennessee’s Davy Crockett, settlers from Texas and across the United States stood firm for an extraordinary 13 days, severely depleting the Mexican army. Legend holds that these 13 days also bought crucial time for Sam Houston, Commander in Chief of the Texas Army, to build the rest of the forces that would later win Texas’ independence.
Though the Alamo fell and almost every defender was killed, their sacrifice was not in vain. The martyrs of the Alamo ignited a flame that could not be extinguished, rallying Texan forces under the immortal battle cry: “Remember the Alamo.” Just weeks later, that cry thundered across the fields of San Jacinto, where Texan forces defeated Santa Anna and the Mexican Army and secured the long-awaited glory of independence. A decade later, Texas officially joined the United States, forever enshrining its legacy of courage and sacrifice into the American story.
On the 190th anniversary of the Battle of the Alamo, we remember the legion of heroes who stood up to tyranny and evil in the face of certain death. Their story is a testament to the immense cost of securing liberty and reminds us that history is shaped by those willing to stand firm when all hope seems lost. Guided by their spirit, particularly as we celebrate 250 glorious years of American independence, my Administration will continue to defend our homeland against foreign invaders and enemies who seek to destroy our country—and we will never waver in protecting the sacred rights that make America the greatest bastion of freedom in the world.
On March 5, 2026, the White House published the statement America 250: Presidential Message on the Anniversary of the Boston Massacre commemorating the 256th anniversary of the Boston Massacre, the fuse that lit the greatest crusade for liberty, self-government, and freedom. The White House writes:
In the aftermath of the Seven Years’ War, the British government imposed a series of unjust and excessive taxes on the American Colonies, promoting outrage from Colonists who felt betrayed, ignored, and voiceless. As protests against British tyranny grew, the Crown grew more repressive. Tensions reached a boiling point on the night of March 5, 1770, when a scuffle between Redcoats and Colonists in Boston, Massachusetts, turned violent. British soldiers unleashed a barrage of gunfire into a crowd of unarmed colonial civilians—killing or fatally wounding five and injuring six more.
In the two and a half centuries since—and in the 250 years since our Nation’s founding—the sacrifices of the patriots slain during the Boston Massacre have remained etched upon the heart of our Nation. Their deaths ultimately became the catalyst for our righteous struggle for independence, sparking the Revolutionary War just 5 years later. Countless Americans have carried forth their heroic legacy of courage and sacrifice in the generations since. From the fields of Gettysburg to the beaches of Normandy, millions of brave souls have paid the ultimate price to defend our freedoms and secure a brighter and more glorious American future.
Today, we pay tribute to the first martyrs of American independence. We honor every hero who has shed their blood for our homeland and for the cause of liberty. Above all, we renew our resolve to defend—with their same courage and conviction—the ideals for which those patriots laid down their lives.
On March 7, 2026, the White House published the statement America 250: Presidential Message on the Anniversary of the Selma Marches commemorating the 61st anniversary of the crusade for equal justice under the law. The White House writes:
Beginning on March 7, 1965, thousands of civil rights advocates marched along U.S. Highway 80 in Alabama, traveling from Selma to the State Capitol in Montgomery to demand an end to unjust practices that denied African American citizens the right to vote. It was a painful moment in our Nation’s history, when discrimination and intimidation were used to deny Americans the freedoms promised in our founding documents. The marchers endured brutal violence, threats, and ridicule, but they did not back down. Ultimately, the courage of the marchers and their devotion to freedom set the stage for landmark reforms that strengthened and secured the right to vote for every American citizen.
As we mark 61 years since these solemn marches, we are reminded that free, fair, and honest elections are the bedrock of our constitutional Republic. Since I returned to office last year, my Administration has taken comprehensive steps to safeguard American elections by strengthening voter citizenship verification, promoting paper ballots, and banning foreign nationals from interfering in our elections. I am also committed to signing commonsense legislation that requires proof of identification to vote—a measure supported by a vast majority of Americans, including black Americans, and one that affirms the dignity and equal capability of all citizens to participate in our democracy, despite the radical left’s efforts to portray it as discriminatory.
On this anniversary, we salute the brave individuals who reaffirmed the eternal truth that every human being is endowed by Almighty God with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And as we celebrate 250 glorious years of American independence, we recommit to building a more just and prosperous Nation—one that protects the God-given dignity of every citizen, defends the rule of law, and preserves the blessings of freedom for generations to come.
