I know it sounds crazy, but George Washington was not the first President of The United States!

It's true, there were a handful of men (John Hanson and John Hancock to name a couple) that served in the role of President of the United States in Congress Assembled before George Washington was elected.

The U.S. Constitution created a new government system and a new Presidential role. Geroge Washington was the first person to be elected President of the United States under the Constitution!
