     I don't care much for honoring Christopher Columbus (who wasn't even the first European to arrive in America), but this also strikes me as pointless. My preference would be no holiday and a proper amount of attention to Native Americans in the curriculum, though that would be a longer bill.

     Does anyone have anything else to say about this? If not, I think I will draft an amendment along the lines I suggested.

I would like to see a proposal similar to what the President proposed. I could draft an amendment in that vein.

     No October holiday and Election Day as a holiday instead? I could get behind that as an amendment.

What do we mean by "all dates where federal elections are held?"  Does that include special elections and runoffs like Louisiana has for its congressional elections?  If so, how would that work?  It wouldn't make sense to have a federal holiday for an election that's only happening in one state or one region.

Edit: Just realized I should be talking in Atlasian terms, ugh.  lol.  But point still stands regarding special elections and runoffs.  And do Senate elections count?  We could end up with a lot of holidays.

I suppose we could specify that the holidays would only apply for when the Federal election booth would be open, which is usually for Presidential elections.

     Would you like to write this amendment, or should I?
