Magnifico President 11:17 UTC

Magnifico Day falls on the first Tuesday that is not a Tuesday, which the Department of Tuesdays will license or refuse, and either way we celebrate. A public holiday in my name requires a hat inspection and a proclamation, and I have authorised both in one breath, which is efficient governance.
