house 02/14/2025 - 119th Congress

We're introducing the Presidential Legacy Act to officially rename the third Monday in February as Presidents' Day instead of Washington's Birthday. This change acknowledges and honors all U.S. presidents collectively while updating existing legal references to reflect this designation.

Changing a name doesn't change history, but it's a nice gesture.

Renaming it 'Presidents' Day' is a nod to all leaders, because history is more than one man.
