In what lawmakers are calling a historic act of bipartisan cooperation, the United States Congress voted 412 to 18 to officially rename Tuesday to Second Monday.
Supporters argued the change would boost national morale. Critics questioned whether renaming a weekday fell within congressional authority. Constitutional scholars were divided.
The White House issued a brief statement: The President believes every day of the week deserves dignity. Calendar manufacturers have begun lobbying against the measure. The International Date Line Commission, which does not exist, could not be reached for comment.
Implementation is expected to begin in fiscal year 2027, pending a six-month public comment period. Early frontrunners include Twosday, Pre-Wednesday, and simply Day.
