Links For President's Day

Today is President's Day, an official holiday in the United States.  Although it has origins in observations of George Washington's and Abraham Lincoln's birthdays, it now refers to all American presidents.  Thus, you can honor any president you want, from Washington to Trump.  But even though today is a holiday, things still keep going on out there, such as:
