In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge recognized Fatherâs Day as the third Sunday in June of that year and encouraged states to do the same. Congress officially recognized Fatherâs Day in 1956 with the passage of a joint resolution.
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 not fathers.
