No, it would require an amendment to the Uniform Time Act [1]. Under current law, states can opt out of DST (subject to some conditions), but the federal executive branch can't unilaterally force them to opt out.
So then you create an executive order and then withhold federal funds from the states that don't comply. I wish states would have a backbone but with the lion's share of taxes going to DC they are just powerless.

I know you mean well but that software would just not be used.
Pretty sure that’s just a simple majority vote in the senate, too. Good to know. I hope this changes someday.
