On February 17th, you\u2019re likely to have a day off work in honor of President\u2019s Day.&nbsp; This public holiday was originally recognized in honor of George Washington\u2019s birthday. In 1971, it was adjusted to commemorate all U.S. presidents as part of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. Now, it occurs on the third Monday of this month every year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it might be tempting to disregard this occasion as a three-day weekend, it\u2019s a great opportunity to brush up on your U.S. history and take a look at some of our country\u2019s previous leaders.
