The Story in Brief
President Donald Trump wants to make daylight saving time permanent, ending the twice-yearly clock change. But the Senate may not act before November 1, when clocks are set to fall back. The House has already passed the Sunshine Protection Act, but the Senate is in recess until September 14, leaving less than two months to pass the bill. Majority Leader John Thune has questioned whether there are enough votes.
The Indian Opinion
Both parties claim to hate the twice-yearly clock change, yet Congress cannot agree on which permanent time to pick. Trump calls it 'foolish' but his preferred daylight saving time faces opposition from sleep scientists and religious groups who warn of darker winter mornings. The real test is not Trump's social media posts, it is whether the Senate schedules a vote before November 1.
