Mississippi congressmen co-author bill for Elvis Presley Day | People

The King of Rock and Roll will get his own holiday, if two Mississippi congressman get their way.

Congressman Alan Nunnelee and Gregg Harper, along with eight other house representatives, have co-authored a bill for an Elvis Presley day.

They want to make Jan. 8 the official day, which also falls on Elvis' birthday.

The members say there is currently no national holiday to celebrate the birth of an American cultural icon.
