The 104th US Congress passed the Jersusalem Embassy Act, 1995 to initiate & fund the relocation of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem by May 31, 1999.

  The Jerusalem Embassy Act, 
        1995 was adopted by
  US Senate 
         93-5
  US House of Representatives 
         374-37

From President Bill Clinton onwards every US President affirmed the status of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

But, by a Presidential waiver, every President from Clinton through Obama, postponed moving the US Embassy.

Donald Trump will drop the waiver that earlier Presidents invoked to keep the US Embassy in Tel Aviv, once the Jerusalem facility is available.
