Congress may extend daylight-saving time

Lawmakers crafting energy legislation approved an amendment to extend daylight-saving time by two months, having it start on the first Sunday in March and end on the last Sunday in November. "Extending daylight-saving time makes sense, especially with skyrocketing energy costs," said Rep. Fred Upton

The idea is that people will go to bed "earlier" and thus need to use less electricity on indoor lighting. But does congress know that they can't really change time? What are they going to do next? Make days last 25 hours? Extend the year by an extra month? The extra month could be called April 2.0 or maybe Republicanuary.
