George Washington was the first president of the United States of America. John Hanson, however, was the President of the Continental Congress, which was a bit like a Prime Minister, before the current organization started (ie, before we had a President and Vice President separate from the Congress and Judiciary).

I believe you are referring to the men that were elected by the Continental congress before the Constitution was drafted. Some people believe that the new nation, the united states, began when the articles or confederation were adopted. Which is when these men were elected, before the Constitution. For your average history class, i think i would still circle George Washington on the test.

There were seven presidents under our FIRST constitution, the Articles of Confederation. George Washington was our first president under our current Constitution.

Your friend is correct. I think you may be confusing President of the United States with President of the Continental Congress.

I relatively have important themes with him. i think of he replaced into very unprepared to steer and replaced into in uncomplicated terms a pawn for human beings like Cheney and Rumsfield. although, after the interview that aired the different night, I do have somewhat (all be it a very small volume) of comprehend for him concerning his faith. For him to make the declare that he would not have faith that the Bible is one hundred% factually precise replaced right into a great deal for me to hearken to, incredibly from him. different than that - as long as he keeps to be on his ranch and rancid of mine - i do no longer supply him a 2nd theory.
