About Presidents' Day
The federal holiday known as Presidents' Day is officially Washington's Birthday, the name used in 5 U.S.C. 6103. George Washington was born on 22 February 1732, but since 1971 the Uniform Monday Holiday Act has placed the holiday on the third Monday of February, between 15 and 21 February, so it never falls on his actual birthday.
The name Presidents' Day is common in everyday use and in some State laws, where the day may honour Abraham Lincoln, born on 12 February, or all presidents. The federal holiday itself still honours Washington alone. Federal offices close; private employers are not required to give the day off.
As a Monday holiday it never needs a substitute day and always gives a three-day weekend. February has no other federal holiday, so on the federal calendar it has 19 working days, or 20 in a leap year when 29 February falls on a weekday.
