Bill > HJRes136

This resolution, a formal expression of opinion or will agreed upon by both the Senate and the House of Representatives, amends Title 36 of the United States Code to require the President to annually issue a proclamation establishing "Democracy Day." This day would be designated to encourage state and local governments, as well as the American people, to observe it with suitable programs and activities, and would urge educational institutions to participate as well. The resolution's preamble highlights the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol as a significant event that threatened the democratic transition of presidential power, underscoring the fragility of democracy and the importance of vigilance, and proposes January 6th as an appropriate date for Democracy Day.
