Washington's birthday was moved to the third Monday in February in 1971 when Nixon was in office. Many people do call it Presidents Day and stores run Presidents' Day sales but the federal holiday is still officially named Washington's birthday. Some states that used to celebrate both Lincoln's birthday (Feb 12) and Washington's may combine the two.
