Constitution Week, 2025
This is a ceremonial proclamation by the President declaring Constitution Week for 2025, covering September 17 through September 23. It notes the historical basis for Constitution Week (designations in 1952 and 1956 under 36 U.S.C. 106 and 108) and frames the week as a national moment to educate the public about citizen rights and responsibilities under the Constitution. The proclamation reflects the President’s broader political priorities, including strong emphasis on patriotism, traditional civic education, and a stated agenda related to executive actions on citizenship, flag protection, and opposition to certain DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs, while reinforcing unity as the nation nears its 250th independence anniversary. As a proclamation, it is a ceremonial statement rather than new law or funding.
