Overview

• The proposed 'Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day Holiday Establishment Act' seeks to make June 14, which is both Donald Trump’s birthday and Flag Day, a federal holiday.
• Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) described Trump as the 'founder of America’s Golden Age' and the 'most consequential president in modern American history.'
• The bill, H.R. 1395, has yet to gain co-sponsors or advance in Congress, and it currently awaits review by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
• Critics have labeled the proposal as sycophantic, pointing to other recent Republican-led efforts to honor Trump, including proposals to carve his likeness into Mount Rushmore and to allow him a third presidential term.
• Flag Day, commemorating the adoption of the U.S. flag in 1777, is currently recognized as a day of observance but not a federal holiday.
