George Washington declared the first national day of Thanksgiving, but that was a one-time thing. Abraham Lincoln restarted it. It was originally the last Thursday in November, but in 1941, it officially became the fourth Thursday in November (sometimes November has five Thursdays). And technically, it still has to be proclaimed by the President every year, although that is a given.
