US
National Holidays:
In
the strict sense, there are no federal (national) holidays
in the United States. Each of the 50 states has jurisdiction
over its holidays. In practice, however, most states observe
the federal ("legal or public ") holidays, even
though the President and Congress can legally designate holidays
only for federal government employees.
The following ten holidays per year are proclaimed by the
federal government.
