Yes he was born Feb 22nd. The wrong birthday due to the British calendar was just a theory just like the theory he fathered a child from his slave.
Lyndon Johnson in 1968 moved 4 holidays to Mondays so there would be a 3 day weekend. Washington's birthday was moved to a Monday on that. It was known as the Uniform Monday Holiday Act.
Argument has long been that once it was moved to Monday it no longer actually celebrated his birthday, so it came to be known as Presidents Day. Of course Clinton verified it.
At GSA it was Presidents Day and it was a day off.
