WASHINGTON (WDAF) — Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) announced Friday a proposed bill, the Establishment Act, which seeks to make President Trump’s birthday and Flag Day a federal holiday in the United States.
Trump’s birthday, falling on June 14, coincides with Flag Day — which acknowledges the adoption of the stars and stripes as the official U.S. flag in 1777.
Tenney’s press release noted that this proposed bill would “permanently codify a new federal holiday” that would be listed as “Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day” on June 14.
“… By designating Trump’s birthday and Flag Day as a federal holiday, we can ensure President Trump’s contributions to American greatness and the importance of the American flag are forever enshrined into law,” Tenney said in the release.
