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

This joint resolution would add a new section to federal law requiring the President to issue a proclamation each year designating a day as Democracy Day. The proclamation would call on state and local governments and the public to observe the day with programs and activities. It would also urge civil and educational authorities of states, counties, cities, and towns to hold observances. The resolution's preamble refers to the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and states that January 6 would be an appropriate day for Democracy Day, though the operative text does not set a specific date.
