Independence Hall is the birthplace of America, having served as the hall in which both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were signed. In this episode I mention that some historians contend that while Washington was the first President of the United States, under the new Constitution, he was not the first to hold the position given that the US existed for a number of years under the Articles of Confederation prior to the Constitution. Depending on the account one reads, that place may fall to John Hanson of Maryland, or even John Dickenson of Pennsylvania. Given that the office of President was created by the Constitution, technically Washington has to be the first to hold that position.
