Aloha kākou. Happy President’s Day. According to the website, George Washington’s Mount Vernon, the first President of the United States birthday is February 22, 1732. It used to be that Washington’s birthday was celebrated exclusively on that day. But now we celebrate Washington’s birthday every year on the third Monday in February.
On June 28, 1968, the “Uniform Monday Holiday Act” was passed by Congress and signed by President Richard M. Nixon. When I was growing up, we would celebrate George Washington’s and Abraham Lincoln’s birthday on separate days. Now the federal holiday has combined all presidents on the third Monday of February. We give Joe Biden a big Asterix because his presidency isn’t legitimate.
