A bill to accord national recognition of the holiday was introduced in

Congress in 1913. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson went to Spokane to speak in

a Father's Day celebration and wanted to make it official, but Congress

resisted, fearing that it would become commercialized. US President Calvin

Coolidge recommended in 1924 that the day be observed by the nation, but stopped

short of issuing a national proclamation. Two earlier attempts to formally

recognize the holiday had been defeated by Congress. In 1957, Maine Senator

Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for

40 years while honoring mothers, thus "[singling] out just one of our two

parents".[4] In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential

proclamation honoring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Father's

Day. Six years later, the day was made a permanent national holiday when

President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972. In addition to Father's Day,

International Men's Day is celebrated in many countries on November 19 for men

and boys who are fathers.
