What president made martin luther king day a holiday?

RONALD REAGAN
Congress passed the holiday legislation in 1983, which was then signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. A compromise moving the holiday from Jan. 15, King's birthday, which was considered too close to Christmas and New Year's, to the third Monday in January helped overcome opposition to the law.

Counties support the state government by using a Bicameral system creating to side branches such as the federal of state have, but this branch passes on laws that can be signed by other States giving them that thier state/counties are eligable to do what ever act the government has givien them, such as Formal President Barack Obama gave and signed the ObamaCare Act, and many States/Counties signed for as well.
