A World Calendar plan gains bipartisan backing in the House led by John Kee and Carl Mundt. The proposal preserves 12 months but reshapes days into four equal quarters with 91 days each, adds a World Holiday on the 365th day, and makes leap years 366 days. The calendar is secular and enjoys global endorsements and long historical discussion.
