What presidents are honored on Presidents' Day?
Presidents' Day is a way to honor all US presidents, but many consider it an opportunity to pay homage to legendary leaders such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
"Championed by Senator Robert McClory of Illinois, this law sought to shift the celebration of several federal holidays from specific dates to a series of predetermined Mondays.
"The proposed change was seen by many as a novel way to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers, and it was believed that ensuring holidays always fell on the same weekday would reduce employee absenteeism.
"While some argued that shifting holidays from their original dates would cheapen their meaning, the bill also had widespread support from both the private sector and labor unions and was seen as a surefire way to bolster retail sales."
Measures have been proposed to restore Washington and Lincoln’s individual birthdays as holidays, but without success.
