The movement to liberate Americans from changing their clocks twice a year cleared a key hurdle on Tuesday, as the US House of Representatives advanced the Sunshine Protection Act by a lopsided 318-117 margin. While many Americans would like to stop the spring and fall time changes, not all of them are on board with the Sunshine Protection Act’s specific approach, would would make daylight saving time permanent. 

Some Capitol Hill proponents aren’t enthusiastic about its prospects. “I’m kind of digging the fact that we’re going to fix it, I hope,” Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett told NBC. “See if the Senate takes it up. They probably won’t, but we’ll see.”
