President’s Day
Here we are again on Presidents Day (or, as the federal government officially refers to it, Washington’s Birthday). As we once noted on this festive occasion:
5 U.S.C.A. § 6103(a) sets forth that today, the third Monday in February, is Washington’s Birthday, and thus, a legal public holiday. George Washington was born on February 21, 1732 (although confusingly, under the old calendar in effect at the time of his birth, he was actually born on February 11, 1731). Perhaps that’s an issue that will be litigated someday.
Above, for this special day, you’ll find the cover of George Washington: The Rise of America’s First President #1. Pretty cool, eh?
