Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) has introduced legislation seeking to make June 14 Donald Trump’s birthday a federal holiday, aligning it with Flag Day, which is already observed on the same date.
The proposed Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day Holiday Establishment Act aims to recognize both occasions as official federal holidays. Tenney compared the effort to George Washington’s birthday, which is honored as a federal holiday and widely celebrated as Presidents Day.
“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 in a post on X.
Washington’s actual birthday is February 22, but the federal holiday recognizing it is observed on the third Monday of February each year.
Following the bill’s introduction, Tenney emphasized Trump’s influence on the country, stating that “No modern president has been more pivotal for our country than Donald J. Trump.”
She further added, “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.”
This bill is part of an ongoing effort by Republican lawmakers to establish formal recognition of Trump’s impact and to celebrate his “America First” policies.
