Although commonly known as Presidents Day, the Monday federal holiday is still legally Washington's Birthday. The holiday was shifted from Feb. 22 to the third Monday in February 1971 under the terms of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968. Because the holiday falls between Feb. 15 and Feb. 21, it can never fall on the actual anniversary of Washington's birth in 1732.
