Contrary to popular confusion, there is no such federal holiday as President’s Day. The popular holiday used for three-day weekend diversions, is actually a federal holiday to officially honor George Washington, although his date of birth occurs on February 22nd. State governments have created the illusion of a President’s Day for other presidents, but the nationwide law creating the holiday is not a celebration of various American presidents. Nevertheless, since the 2016 presidential race there has been a great deal of clarity for the American public about presidential election politics, which has now led to the “Not My President’s Day” mentality of recent years.
