November 20. On this day in history, New Jersey became the first state to ratify the Bill of Rights back in 1789. In 1947, Britain’s future queen, Princess Elizabeth, married Philip Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh. Fast-forward to 1984, when McDonald’s celebrated the making of its 50-billionth hamburger at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City. In 2014, President Obama announced an executive order on immigration, calling for stronger border security, prioritizing the deportation of felons, and creating a pathway for undocumented immigrants to remain in the country. Then in 2019, Oxford Dictionaries chose “climate emergency” as its word of the year. In 2022, President Joe Biden marked his 80th birthday, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to reach that milestone. And on this day in music history in 2013, Elvis Presley’s Merry Christmas… Love Elvis debuted at number 147 on the Billboard 200, extending his record to 129 charting albums—far ahead of Frank Sinatra’s 82. And that’s today’s Almanac, on Northwest Newsradio.
