Sort of - the rules for not saying Jesus name have been around for a little while I think - but the new Administration (If you still consider it new 3 years in) probably has no problem with it.

A:According to factcheck, this urban myth originated with former Navy Chaplain Gordon J. Klingenschmitt, who was court-marshalled in 2006 for disobeying an order, not for mentioning Jesus' name. Klingenschmitt accused his Navy superiors of pushing chaplains to offer generic, nonsectarian prayers and now solicits donations, news interviews and speaking engagements. He had appeared in uniform with others at a news conference to protest the president's inaction on his complaints against the Navy. The event was in Lafayette Square, just across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House. Klingenschmitt said he was merely offering a public prayer. The military prosecutor said Klingenschmitt had been ordered not to wear his uniform at media events or political protests, and that the event was not a true worship service. A jury of five officers found him guilty of disobeying a lawful order and punished him with a reprimand and temporary reduction in pay. He left the Navy soon after.Chain letters and emails have since circulated, claiming that the administration had attempted to prevent Navy chaplains from mentioning Jesus in prayers, and placing it in the administration of President Obama instead of President George W. Bush.
