November 3rd 1781 John Hanson was the first president of the United States of America (elected by congress *land slide election*)
1789 George was the first publicly elected president.
To all those who thought it was George, I just have to ask. Who do you think ran the country during the revolutionary war when Mr Washington was a General.
George was in fact the 8th Presidential figure
Sheesh! The educational system in this country sucks!
