The verb celebrating has two direct objects: birth and signing (not a verb here but a gerund—a present-participle verb acting as a noun, as in 'Cheating is wrong' or 'Lying is immoral'). The message is easy to understand by simply reversing the order of these objects (and/or by repeating the word celebrating):

• Looking forward to celebrating the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the birth of our Nation.

• Looking forward to celebrating the signing of the Declaration of Independence and celebrating the birth of our Nation.

It's also easy to understand that the announcement of the creation of a new Republic of United States of America and signing of a new Declaration of Independence (why would we need a new one of those anyway??) would not be casually made in a random social media post by the First Lady. For fuck's sake people.

Critical thinking FTW ;p
