Tuesday, United States Senate voted unanimously make daylight saving time permanent from 2023. It was a rare moment of bipartisan unity in the upper house of Congress.
The bill is known as the Sun Protection Act, and despite overwhelming political support, it would probably have had a staunch opponent: the late Andy Rooney.
In April 1981, Rooney made his view of daylight saving time clear for 60 Minutes viewers.
“These are great days for the mornings. This is our time of year,” Rooney said. “The sun rises around 5:30, and the intruders, who are obviously night people, can’t advance the clock … until April 26. So we still have some time to enjoy these gloriously. long. mornings “.
The Sun Protection Act must be passed by the House and signed by the President before it becomes law.
