It's the long standing tradition of the senate that, out of courtesy and at an institutional legitimacy, you give every other senator a chance to be notified. The more down and dirty, practical reason is that the moment someone tries to sneak something through the senate both parties are going to institute a system where you've got to have baby sitters who got senators sitting on the floor every day just to block any requests defensively. So what exactly happened with daylight saving time last t Tuesday? It started off like anything else. Marco rubio wants to pass this bill to make daylight saving time permanent. Switching in and out of daylight saving time is outdated and it's only a source of annoyance and confusion
