I believe that is not the case. The holiday was instituted, as I can best recall, during Nixon's tenure along with the movement to consolidate all holidays into three day weekends whenever possible, thus diluting the real meaning and impact of the occasion.
I am fairly certain that "Presidents' Day" is meant to commemorate all individuals who ever held that office, despite the fact that a few were great, most were mediocre, and a great many were actually bad.
