Today we celebrate two of our greatest presidents' birthdays, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The original Federal Holiday, established in the 1880's, was on February 22nd, the actual birthday of George Washington.
In 1968 Congress passed the "Uniform Monday Holiday Bill" which moved a number of federal holidays to Mondays.
This change was designed to allow workers to enjoy a number of long weekends throughout the year.
During the debate over this bill, it was proposed that the holiday be re-named to Presidents' Day honoring both men's birthdays -Washington's on 2/22 and Lincoln's on 2/12. After much discussion, Congress rejected changing the name. A few years later when the bill went into effect in 1971, Presidents' Day did become the commonly accepted name.
For my friend Geri ... thus ends the history lesson!
