Proclamation 10084-National Hunting and Fishing Day, 2020

On September 24, 2020, President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation titled "National Hunting and Fishing Day, 2020." This action designates September 26, 2020, as a ceremonial observance intended to bring national attention to hunting and fishing. As a ceremonial proclamation, it does not create new law, direct federal spending, or impose legal obligations on citizens. Instead, it is purely declaratory, expressing the President's sentiment and drawing public awareness to these activities.

This proclamation affects American hunters, anglers, and outdoorsmen, as well as local economies and communities that benefit from these activities. It matters because it highlights their role in the stewardship of natural resources, recreation, and conservation efforts. The proclamation notes their contributions to local economies, the preservation of American sporting traditions, and their help in managing wildlife populations and promoting awareness of ecosystem management. Presidents have issued similar ceremonial proclamations since George Washington, and this type of action falls squarely within executive tradition, requiring no congressional approval and facing no constitutional challenges.
