HJRES 14 United States House · 118th Congress

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

H.J.Res. 14 proposes amending the U.S. Code to require the President to issue an annual proclamation designating a day as "Democracy Day." The proclamation would call on state and local governments, educational institutions, and the public to observe the day with programs and activities promoting democratic values. It does not fix a specific date (though the preamble references January 6 as a potential day), leaving the annual designation to the President's discretion. The bill directly affects the President and state/local authorities by establishing a formal mechanism for nationwide civic observance of democracy.
