Presidents' Day is celebrated on a Monday to provide a long weekend for workers, as part of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act enacted in 1971. This law aimed to standardize the number of federal holidays celebrated on Mondays to promote leisure and travel. The holiday, originally established to honor George Washington's birthday, has since evolved to celebrate all U.S. presidents. The Monday observance helps ensure that citizens can enjoy extended time off with family and friends.
