There is no national holiday, not even the Fourth of July. Congress has at various times appointed special holidays, and has recognized the existence of certain days as holidays, for commercial purposes, in such legislation as the Bankruptcy act, but there is no general statute on the subject. The proclamation of the President designating a day of Thanksgiving only makes it a holiday in those States which provide by law for it.
