Trump urges Senate to pass permanent daylight saving time bill

In the United States, people change their clocks twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall.

Many people do not like this, so a law was proposed to keep the clocks the same all year.

This law is called the Sunshine Protection Act.

One part of Congress, called the House of Representatives, already voted yes on the law.

Now President Donald Trump wants the other part of Congress, called the Senate, to vote yes too.

Trump says having more sunlight in the evening is good and even helps keep people safe.

Some people agree that changing clocks makes people tired and can cause accidents.

But other people worry that winter mornings would be very dark.

In some places, the sun might not rise until around 9 a.m., so kids going to school would leave in the dark.

The Senate has not decided yet, and a senator says the vote will be a tough fight.
