How about Mount George W. Bush Or Ronald Reagan?

From the Sacramento Bee: Alaska's senior senator has again introduced legislation to rename Mount McKinley as Mount Denali.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski said in a recent interview that Denali might not be the name that people in the Midwest recognize "but it has long been the name in really the place that matters, which is the state that this incredible mountain sits."
"I have nothing against President McKinley whatsoever, but I would rather have this peak be called by the name it has gone by for centuries by Alaskans than a man who never set foot in our state," Murkowski said in a release. "This is the tallest mountain in North America and we deserve to have this Alaskan landmark bear an Alaskan name." http://www.sacbee.com/2013/02/03/5156571/renewed-push-to-rename-mt-mckinley.html Mt. McKinley is what most people think of when they hear about the largest mountain North America.But if they want to re-name the mountain, then they shoulder-name it Mounty Reagan or Mount George W. Bush, two of the best presidents since the 1970's.
