Constitution Day
"President George W. Bush signed a bill on December 8th, 2004 (public law 108-447) which designates every September 17th as Constitution Day. The Constitution was signed by 39 of the 55 Founding Fathers on September 17th, 1787. The Bill suggests a Constitutional Education Program on that day."
