We need to push him to allow the Sunshine protection act to reach the floor. The senate has already passed it. Pelosi refused to allow it for a vote.
The bill is to make daylight savings permanent nationwide. Some want dayllight savings, some prefer standard. That part can be debated and/or amended on the floor. The important part is to get rid of the semiannual changes but nothing will ever change if the speaker doesn't allow it to reach the floor.
However, if it's amended to standard time, it has to go back to the senate and anything could happen there. If passed as is, it goes to Biden. Of course Biden's clock doesn't tick so who knows what he'd do.

IMO- there are larger things at hand for this country's future than something like what time to set the clock to.

I'm ok with this on the back burner and hope they tackle about 50 more important issues first.

Leave it the way it is now, changing the clock.

They could deal with it in an hour if they'd do it. The senate did it with a simple unanimous consent vote. Of course, that would eliminate the semi-annual time change threads here on the fire. It would save millions of people some frustration twice a year, eliminate computer programing on millions of servers.

Since when did we elect a congress to deal only with big things like getting rid of cash and perverting our children? Their job is also to deal with these small things to make life a bit easier.

The more time they spend on these little things, the less time they have to spend on the big things that are destroying this country. I'd rather have them debating a time change than debating a climate change bill.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

At least it's not doing any harm.

Most of the chit that gets passed and signed into law now, does our nation grievous injury.

I suppose you can read the Marxist Mind …

Or the Resistance to their Agenda..

You got a very slim margin in the House and a Big Bucket of Rhinos..

The Marxist just got another Impeachment Rhino today ..

I would think we opt for the Night and Rule It ..

Just Saying..

Exactly

But I’m sure it’ll be one they’ll take up and hold out like some sort of trophy.

Now that Roe was overturned they need something to motivate the base maybe this is Paul Ryan’s attempt?

If I were king, his royal highness, Imperial Overlord, and Grand Wazzoo...................



I'd wait until spring and have everyone move their clocks 1/2 hr ahead and then leave it there forever.

Then the "Oh my god, the kids have to go to school in the dark Nov-Mar" folks will get 1/2 more light and I'll have a 1/2 hour more light in the evenings when I'm awake and it's warmer to do outside stuff.

Fini!
