Since it is The Daily Question's trend to incorporate questions with holidays, it would be a crime not to ask a presidential question about Father's Day. I was going to ask how many father/son pairs there were in the White House, but that's to easy. To Google I went. Originally, Father's Day (or Fathers' Day, if you're an English major) was started in Eastern Washington state in the 1910's. By the 1930's, companies had begun marketing the holiday as a commercial day. But who made it a "holiday"? With that, I ask the question: Which president made Father's Day a federal Holiday?
The president was Lyndon Johnson, and he declared it in 1966.
