The only thing people will remember about Donald J. Trump a hundred years from now is that he was the third president to be impeached.

However, Trump could make himself immortal by an executive order.

Get rid of leap days and start every year on a Monday: Johns Hopkins professors propose a new calendar

Now a pair of Johns Hopkins professors believe it’s time to turn the page on the Gregorian calendar in favor of one to really last the ages.

“You don’t ever have to buy a new calendar,” said Steve H. Hanke, a Johns Hopkins University economist who partnered with Hopkins astrophysicist Richard Conn Henry on the Hanke-Henry Permanent Calendar, which would not change from year to year.

“How much needless work do institutions, such as companies and universities, put into arranging their calendars for every coming year? From now on, they could do it once, and it is done forevermore.”

The idea is simple: Start every year on Monday, Jan. 1. Every other day would fall on the same day every year.

<snip>

The benefits would be many: Holidays except for the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving would be observed on a Monday, creating regular long weekends and fewer midweek disruptions.

<snip>

Every year would just repeat in a Groundhog Day movie kind of way, only over a year, which would be 364 days rather than 365.

But how? Hanke said President Donald Trump could issue an executive order. The U.S. government would switch, and the states and other countries would follow.

Rather than have a leap day every four years, this calendar would add an extra week every five or six years.

I like this calendar, I really do. And how could a guy with as massive an ego as Trump not be able to resist this?

We had the Julian calendar named because Julius Caesar enacted it.

We currently have the Gregorian calendar named after Pope Gregory.

How could Trump possibly resist being the guy behind the Trumpian calendar?
