The Legislature in Barack Obama’s home state has decided to honor the 44th president’s birthday.
A plan to mark Obama’s August 4 birthday as an honorary holiday gained approval 87-0 in the Illinois House Friday. The state Senate endorsed the measure in March. It now moves to the Republican governor’s desk.
The proposal would officially recognize Obama’s efforts to protect the rights of Americans and build “bridges across communities.”
There is of course the slim chance that he Republican governor will refuse to sign the bill, but considering Obama's popularity in Illinois I would think that would be political suicide.
Gee I wonder if New York will name a state holiday after Donald Trump after he is forced out of office?
What's that you say?
Why no I do not think it is likely that Hell will freeze over anytime soon.
