Constitution Day - (see link below)
The teachers, students, and federal executive employees of the
United States are all to observe Constitution Day this September
and every September thereafter with some sort of edifying lesson,
program, or distributed materials about our Constitution. (But no
federal holiday;)
Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) added a provision to this effect to an
appropriations bill in late 2004, so 2005 brings its debut.
The following guide to relevant web resources is intended to help
those teachers, students, and federal employees≈as well as an
army of web site designers, reference librarians, non-profit
organizations, and program planners≈get ready for the day. And
what is that day? September 17, the anniversary of the signing of
the Constitution, which falls on a Saturday this year. So look
for official programs immediately before or
after that weekend.
The web below begins with links to existing legal language on the
new observance. Other web sites described here represent a select
