"States can opt into standard time permanently -- which Hawaii and Arizona have done -- the reverse is prohibited [View all]

prohibited and requires congressional action."

Is this true? This is what my google AI says.

I said earlier, I think the majority of people agree we need to pick one time, Daylight Savings or Standard, and stick with it. The problem is there is disagreement on which time, Daylight Savings or Standard, to choose. But I did not know that one required Congressional action and the other did not.

Anyway, Trump is probably throwing this out there tonight because he thinks this will be an easy thing for him to get done, (it won't), and will distract everyone from all the other crap he's promised, (it won't).
