St. Clair was a member of the Pennsylvania Council of Censors in 1783, and was elected a delegate to the Continental Congress from November 2, 1785 until November 28, 1787. From November 2nd 1786 until February 2, 1787 the government known as the United States in Congress Assembled was unable to form a quorum and hence no President was elected. Chaos ruled the day in early 1787 with Shays' Rebellion in full force and the States refusing to settle land disputes or contribute to the now 6 year old federal government. On February 2nd, 1787 the Delegates finally gathered into a quorum and elected Arthur St. Clair as the 9th President of the United States in Congress Assembled. St. Clair's tenure as President, February 2, 1787 to October 29, 1787, was arguably the most effective law making period in U.S. History enacting both the Northwest Ordinance and the current United States Constitution.
