"On October 6, 1941, the House passed a joint resolution declaring the
last Thursday in November to be the legal Thanksgiving Day. The Senate,
however, amended the resolution establishing the holiday as the fourth
Thursday, which would take into account those years when November has
five Thursdays. The House agreed to the amendment, and President
Roosevelt signed the resolution on December 26, 1941, thus establishing
the fourth Thursday in November as the Federal Thanksgiving Day holiday."
