The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.

George Washington was the seventh president of the United States. John Hanson was the first president, followed by Elias Boudinot, Thomas Mifflin, Rishard Henry Lee, Nathan Gorman, Arthur St. Clair, and Cyrus Griffen. These men held the office under the Articles of Confederation, which was the forerunner of the Constitution.

But the Articles of Confederation was the formal basis of the United States and it was under this document that our nation was first born. Therefore, these were legitimate presidents, and at the time were recognized as such.

George Washington was the first president under the Constitution, but not the first president of the United States.




As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
