Third Monday of February

President's Day

The Father of America, George Washington, was born on February 22. But in honor of our first President, the third Monday of February has been designated as the day to remember his stature in America's life. In 1880, a federal holiday honoring George Washington was implemented by and Act of Congress for government offices in the District of Columbia and expanded in 1885 to include all federal offices. Originally, Washington's actual birthday, February 22, was celebrated on the day of his birth, but in January 1971, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act shifted its observance to the third Monday of February, usually not being celebrated on his actual birthday. For this reason, "President's Day" is generally the expression used to designate the day.

How Judicial Activism Silences "The People"

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, American government appears to have become little more than a judicial oligarchy, with liberal judges and other members of jurisprudence demanding to have the final say on matters of local, state, and national government. On Friday, May 9, 2014, Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza ruled Arkansas' voter-approved ban on gay marriage to be "unconstitutional." Though legal rankling ensued the following week, by the end of that week, Arkansas' fate was sealed—by the capricious stroke of one judge! Read more...
