🇺🇲 Today is President's Day! Here are some fun Presidential facts -
🇺🇲 This federal holiday was created to celebrate our Nation's first President, George Washington, and 'officially' (in federal documents) is still called Washington's Birthday.
🇺🇲 President Chester Arthur was the first to designate Washington's original birth date as a national holiday in 1885. Thanks to the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968, it was moved to the 3rd Monday in February.
🇺🇲 George Washington and James Madison are the only presidents who signed the US Constitution.
