president day
Actually, there is no official "Presidents Day" - it is still officially "Washington's Birthday." Prior to MLK Day, there was Lincoln's Birthday in early February (February 12th) and Washington's Birthday on the third Monday in February. Many holidays were changed to be on a Monday after passage of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act by Congress.
Constitutionally, there are no "national holidays" in the United States because Congress only has authority to create holidays for federal institutions (including federally owned properties) and employees, and for the District of Columbia. Instead, there are federal holidays, state holidays, city holidays, and so on.
