I'm not seeing the problem here. If it doesn't exist in the first place, then why would anyone care if everyone wants it eradicated?

However, it IS a Federal holiday. It's one of the 11 holidays recognized by the Federal Reserve, which is why banks nationwide are closed on Presidents' Day. It's why there's no mail that day, the DMV and all non-essential government offices are closed that day.
