in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The President is asked to declare Columbus Day each year, not required to. The proclamation should name the second Monday in October as Columbus Day. It should call for flying the flag on federal buildings and inviting public ceremonies.

This section asks — but does not legally require — the President to issue a yearly proclamation about Columbus Day. The requested proclamation should do three things: (1) designate the second Monday in October as Columbus Day; (2) call on U.S. government officials to fly the American flag on all government buildings that day; and (3) invite the American people to observe Columbus Day — in schools, churches, or other suitable places — with ceremonies fitting the anniversary of the discovery of America.
