Before their summer break, a major piece of legislation was passed by both houses of congress with bi-partisan support and was signed by the President before he embarked on his 6 week vacation. The historical new law removes Labor Day from the list of designated national holidays.
Republican sponsors of the bill said it is a political paradigm shift toward a more conservative society. Senate Majority leader Mitch "The Bitch" McConnell said, "A Labor Day without labor simply makes no sense, but it is exactly what laborers want. Instead of honoring laborers with a free day off, we should punish them for dereliction of duty".
President Obama said,"I promised that I would put Americans to work and this bill will do it". The bill also prohibits pregnant women from going into labor on the first Monday of September, and babies born on that day must be relinquished.
