It used to be "Presidents' Day," but at this point he's the only one you're really allowed to celebrate. You may be allowed to wink past Clinton's actions, but that's getting thinner and thinner each year. You are allowed to pretend that Joe Biden really won the election, though that will get thinner each year too.

The election was not rigged. It was fortified.
They are only chipping away at FDR, and Kennedy will remain on Rushmore (D) because only his myth matters anymore. Carter pissed some liberals off, but he was the one who taught that Christianity is really just 60s liberalism, so he may stay afloat.
Eventually they will eat so many of their won that they will have to change the holiday itself to "Shoulda Been President's Day." They'll want to do Susan B Anthony and Gandhi for that, but that would draw unhealthy attention to what they really said and were like, so wiser heads will keep them in the background. It will become more like the Oscars.
I saw an argument at National Review today that turned my thinking around on this in a few sentences. We should not have the holiday at all. Presidents are not the people we should be celebrating in a Republic. The individual presidents Lincoln and Washington may have deserved it, but when we wanted to consolidate and put them all in it sent a bad message. They are mostly not heroes.
AVI that is exactly right. Should have kept the holidays on their actual birthdays, too.
I changed my stance on MLK day, I was originally against it as I didn't think we needed another federal holiday, and as great as he was, there were many great Americans without holidays. Now I'm glad because it makes it harder for the left to purge him and his ideas about seeing people for the content of their character instead of the color of their skin.
