Senator Moves To Block Current Legislation From Putting Harriet Tubman On $20 Bill According to recent reports, Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa is taking a stand in an attempt to keep Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. In legislation introduced last week, King attempted to block the Treasury Department from replacing Jackson with Harriet Tubman. The Huffington Post reports that the amendment seeks to bar the Treasury Department from spending funds to redesign paper money or coin currency. If the measure is approved, plans to replace the seventh president with abolitionist Tubman would come to a halt. That means that the civil rights icon would not appear on the bill. In April, the Treasury Department announced their plans to make the change. The decision was part of a strategy to put a female on U.S. currency for the 100-year anniversary of womens right to vote in 2020. As it stands, Tubman could be the first black woman featured on American currency. King hopes to attach the legislation to a broader bill authorizing the Treasurys budget, according to the Huffington Post. What do you think of Kings proposal?
