Constitution and Citizenship Day, observed on September 17, commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. The day also recognizes individuals who have become American citizens.

Illinois State Representative Patrick Windhorst commented on the significance of the occasion. "Constitution and Citizenship Day marks the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787, a document that remains the foundation of our government. Today is also a celebration of those who have become American citizens. Our shared commitment to the principles of our nation is what keeps our democracy strong!"

Windhorst, a Republican, was elected to the Illinois State House in 2023 to represent the state's 117th House District, succeeding Natalie Phelps Finnie.
