We give him the credit... but he wasn't the first. My guess is that he just looked better on the $1 bill.

I wonder what George's propects might have been if his 1/2 brother Lawrence hadn't died young, without children ?

So who was president from 1776 to 1789?

[josephdemartino]

Washington was the first president under the Federak Constitution of 1787. A number of men, starting with John Hanson of Maryland, were called President of the United States under the Articles of Confederation, but that office was more like the Speaker of the House than the later Chief Executive.

He spent too much chasing a female runaway. Makes him kind of creepy doesn't it?

[jamesbarry]

He was also polite. People would say a deist. He was most likely an atheist

[dariodelben]

He was not the first president it was I think John Handos look it up

[avalentineuk]

At least he didn't legalising guns like now!
