Plain-English Summary

The President would be required to issue a proclamation each year officially recognizing Democracy Day as a national observance. This would establish an annual day for Americans to reflect on and celebrate democratic principles and institutions. The measure affects all Americans by creating a formal government recognition of democracy, though it does not create a federal holiday or mandate any specific activities.
