I think the benefit to a holiday is that everyone gets it off and that’s maintained at the federal level, whereas more vacation is just a contract between you and your employer. The American work culture also makes it harder for individuals to take work off for a vacation.

I don't see the benefit in that everyone get off. Especially since that is not possible in a lot of cases.

If we are making laws perhaps make more around making it illegal to not use x% of your vacation within y days into the next year.
