Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) delivered a special Valentine to President Donald Trump.
The New York congresswoman introduced a bill to make Trump’s birthday a holiday, she announced in a press release.
The Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day Holiday Establishment Act would officially designate June 14 as a federal holiday.
Trump was born on Flag Day — June 14, 1946.
“This legislation would permanently codify a new federal holiday called ‘Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day’ on June 14 to honor this historic day,” per the press release.
Tenney explained Trump is worthy of the honor.
“No modern president has been more pivotal for our country than Donald J. Trump,” Tenney said in the release. “As both our 45th and 47th President, he is the most consequential President in modern American history, leading our country at a time of great international and domestic turmoil. From brokering the historic Abraham Accords to championing the largest tax relief package in American history, his impact on the nation is undeniable.”
She also compared Trump to George Washington, the first president of the U.S.
“Just as George Washington’s Birthday is codified as a federal holiday, this bill will add Trump’s Birthday to this list, recognizing him as the founder of America’s Golden Age,” Tenney continued. “Additionally, as our nation prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, we should create a new federal holiday honoring the American Flag and all that it represents.”
“By designating Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day as a federal holiday, we can ensure President Trump’s contributions to American greatness and the importance of the American Flag are forever enshrined into law,” she added.
