Republican introduces bill to make Trump's birthday a federal holiday
Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) introduced a bill Friday that would establish President Trump’s birthday, June 14, as a public holiday.
The Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day Holiday Establishment Act proposes the recognition of both Trump’s birthday and Flag Day, celebrated on June 14, as federal public holidays.
"Just as George Washington's birthday is codified as a federal holiday, President Trump's birthday should also be celebrated to recognize him as the founder of America's Golden Age," Tenney wrote on the social platform X on Monday.
George Washington was born on Feb. 22, but Presidents Day, marking his birthday, is celebrated on the third Monday of February.
In a separate post Friday, shared after she introduced the Trump birthday bill, Tenney said, "No modern president has been more pivotal for our country than Donald J. Trump."
"Today, I introduced legislation to designate Trump's Birthday and Flag Day as a federal holiday, ensuring President Trump's contributions to American greatness are forever enshrined into law," she added.
This bill marks the latest attempt by GOP lawmakers to commemorate Trump and some of his "America First" pronouncements.
Last month, Rep. Addison McDowell (R-N.C.) introduced legislation to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after Trump.
McDowell proposed the bill alongside Reps. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.), Brian Jack (R-Ga.), Riley Moore (R-W.Va.) and Brandon Gill (R-Texas).
Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) also introduced a new bill last week that proposes renaming Greenland to “Red, White, and Blueland,” as President Trump seeks to acquire the island territory.
