Amending title 36, United States Code, to direct the President to issue an annual proclamation establishing Democracy Day.

This bill, introduced by Representative Dean Phillips, would direct the President to issue an annual proclamation designating January 6th as "Democracy Day." The resolution identifies this date as a time to honor the tradition of the peaceful transition of power and to reflect on the importance of maintaining democratic institutions.

For everyday citizens, this would establish a national day of observance rather than a federal holiday; as a result, businesses and government offices would remain open, and it would not be a paid day off for workers. The bill's primary impact would be to encourage national reflection and civic activities centered on the resilience of American democracy. Currently, the bill is in the early stages of the legislative process and has been referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability for review.
