PPPS (Washington, DC)—In a surprise, and mostly unreported special evening session on Sunday, both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate passed legislation designating January 21, 2017 as a National Holiday to be called NOBAMA DAY.

| Official Announcement Released by Congress on January 8, 2017 |
The legislation passed in both chambers on a voice vote after a limited time for debate. Apparently, only Republican members were in attendance, as all of the Democrat Representatives and Senators had retired for the night to watch the Golden Globe Awards.
Senator Ted Cruz (R) of Texas, key sponsor and honorary spokesperson for the new holiday, released a brief statement to the handful of reporters:
"On behalf of the long suffering American people, we, their chosen representatives, decided that it would only be appropriate to create a special holiday for America to celebrate and reflect upon the end of the eight-year Reign of Error at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue." —Senator Ted Cruz
