Fun Facts about Presidents’ Day:
Why do we celebrate President’s Day? Though it began as a way to honor our first president, George Washington, it later was changed into a holiday that pays homage to the office as a whole.
George Washington was the only president unanimously elected. Meaning all of the state representatives voted for him.
John Adams died on the same day as Thomas Jefferson, July 4th, 1826. This day was also the 50th anniversary of the approval of the Declaration of Independence.
Teddy Roosevelt, at 42 years, 10 months, and 18 days old, was the youngest man to hold the office of president. The oldest person to assume the presidency was Joe Biden, the nation's current president, who was inaugurated 61 days after turning 78. John F. Kennedy was the youngest to be elected president at age 43.
