Answer 2

George Washington was the first person to hold the office of the President of the United States in the government created by the our Constitution. However the title President of the United States was used prior to that under the Articles of the Confederation. The full title of the office was President of the United States in Congress Assembled, but was frequently shorted to President of the United States. The first person to hold that office was Samuel Huntington. See if your teacher knows that.

Answer 3

Prior to the constitution, the US had a different form of government, governed by a document called the Articles of Confederation.

The "President" under the Articles of Confederation was not quite the same as what we think of in today's form of government. The President was the ranking official over the Congress, not the executive/project management type of position it is today.

There were other "Presidents" prior to John Hanson. Some were President prior to the Articles of Confederation being ratified...thus not really making them President I guess. Two others served as President under the Articles prior to Hanson, Samuel Huntington and Thomas McKean. Hanson was the first person to serve a full term.

Samuel Huntington is the correct answer because he served when the United States officially became known as the 'President of the United States in Congress Assembled.'.

On March 1, 1781 the title of the office changed, but Samuel Huntington remained president. Thomas McKean was the first President simply titled “President of the United States” in an official document.

There was no position of Vice President in 1781.
