Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, is being celebrated today on his birthday. Lincoln spent a significant portion of his life in Illinois, where he served in the Illinois House of Representatives and as a member of Congress representing Illinois' 7th district before becoming President.

A state-sponsored website marks this occasion but notes that campaign-related posts, content, and comments are prohibited due to ethics regulations.

"Happy Birthday to our nation’s 16th President Abraham Lincoln!" is the message shared in honor of this day.
