SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — 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."

Obama began his political career serving in the Illinois Senate in 1997. He served there until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004.

The Illinois House narrowly rejected a plan to make Obama's birthday a state holiday in March amid concerns over giving state workers in the cash-strapped state another paid day off.

He's a pretty historic dude, don't see what the issue here is. You guys wouldn't want to give up your Columbus Day, would you?

No I was finding it humorous what you guys would think would trigger people when similar things trigger you. It's very funny.

You keep on insisting that people are triggered, but nobody actually seems triggered. You might want to double check and be sure.

He's the only governor of California with a statue in the capitol building. These things happen.

I don't think first actor president reaches the same level of historic significance.

Or do you mean because he was the first president to suffer from dementia while in office? That still probably doesn't reach the same standard.

Some already have. I'm not joking Google it!

It was just an example. Columbus Day shouldn't even be a thing, but some Italians in the 30's wanted a figure to look up to and here we are.

You're such a shallow and sad person that the only thing that matters to you is the color of a man's skin.

Also, first half-WHITE president.

Considering America's past and history, the color of his skin is pretty significant. Don't know why you'd say otherwise.
