President Barack Obama Political Career

Views: 24

The home state of Ex President Barack Obama will commemorate his birthday under a new law.

Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner has signed a plan honoring the 44th President’s birthday on 4th August. It won’t be an official state holiday, rather a day to honour Obama. The law notes Barack Obama’s efforts to protect American’s rights and build bridges across communities.

President Barack Obama began his political career in the Illinois Senate in 1997. He served there until his election to the US Senate in 2004.

The measure takes effect next year. It received overwhelming support in the Democrat-led Legislature. The Republican governor signed it Friday.

The proposal came after the Illinois House narrowly rejected a plan to make Obama’s birthday a state holiday amid concerns of giving state employees in cash-strapped Illinois another paid day off.
