U.S. President Barack Obama is calling on Congress to quickly pass his jobs bill.
During his weekly address Saturday, Obama said "It's time for Congress to get its act together and pass this jobs bill so I can sign it into law."
The president sent Congress the $447 billion bill three weeks ago. Obama says the American Jobs Act will put thousands of teachers, police and construction workers back on the job. He also says economists from varied political background say the jobs bill will boost the economy and increase hiring.
