Presidents Day Promotions
THE UNIFORM MONDAY Holiday Act was signed into law on June 28, 1968, mandating that certain federal holidays be moved from fixed dates to specifically designated Mondays. Why, you may ask, would the government spend taxpayer time and money moving holidays from their traditional dates to arbitrarily assigned Mondays? In their wisdom and benevolence, Congress wanted to maximize the number of annual three-day weekends for Americans. Specifically, the number of three-day weekends for federal employees and organizations. Federal organizations like Congress. And you thought they never did anything for you.
