Never register a birthplace or name a street or building after a living politician.

We had a beautiful woods near where I lived in Illinois which was named after the very long-time, very much alive president of the forest preserve district.

He landed in prison after being convicted of using his elected office for gain. His name was hastily removed from the big wooden signs at each entrance to the preserve.

Sic transit gloria.
