Architecture might no longer be seen as a professional course in the United States

The American government through it's Big Beautiful Bill has listed some courses that should've should stripped of professional status. One of such courses is Architecture.

If the bill passes, it means that Architecture would not a professional course in America again.

Hello everyone, I'm truly shocked by this news about the Big Beautiful Bill and its potential impact on architecture in the United States. Architecture is not only a creative discipline, but it also demands a high level of technical knowledge, responsibility, and professional ethics. If this bill moves forward and eliminates the professional status of architect, it would be a devastating blow to those of us who have dedicated years of study and effort to this field. Furthermore, architecture directly impacts people's quality of life, safety, and environmental sustainability. I believe the value of a profession shouldn't be measured solely by its official recognition, but by the real contribution it makes to society. I hope those responsible reconsider this decision, because eliminating professional status in architecture could have serious long-term consequences for everyone's safety and well-being.

I am sure that the professional body of architects in America won't just fold their hands and watch this.

Why is this though? Don't they make use of people from this field to build their houses and the likes?

Till tomorrow, architecture would always be a highly professional discipline. The training alone to be certified is tasking.
