* Federal statute actually designates the moving February holiday
as "Washington's Birthday" which could only be a
birthday observance in the Congressional mind since Washington was
born on the non-moving date of February 22, 1732.
Washington's Birthday was set in motion by the Uniform Holidays
Bill of 1968 (effective starting in 1971), which also eliminated
observation of Lincoln's birthday (February 12, 1809). The
holiday is popularly observed as President's Day to celebrate the
birth of Washington and Lincoln as well as the other presidents. |
