This joint resolution proposes an amendment to title 36 of the United States Code, mandating that the President annually issue a proclamation to establish a Democracy Day . This proclamation would serve to designate a specific day each year for the observance of democratic principles and the nation's commitment to a peaceful transition of power. The presidential proclamation would further urge State and local governments, along with the American people, to participate in appropriate programs and activities commemorating Democracy Day. It also specifically calls upon civil and educational authorities to observe the day, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the nation's democratic traditions.
