George Washington (February 22, 1732 [O.S. February 11, 1731] – December 14, 1799) was the first President of the United States (1789–97), the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He presided over the convention that drafted the current United States Constitution and during his lifetime was called the "father of his country".
Widely admired for his strong leadership qualities, Washington was unanimously elected president in the first two national elections. He oversaw the creation of a strong, well-financed national government that maintained neutrality in the French Revolutionary Wars, suppressed the Whiskey Rebellion, and won acceptance among Americans of all types. Washington's incumbency established many precedents, still in use today, such as the cabinet system, the inaugural address, and the title Mr. President. His retirement from office after two terms established a tradition that lasted until 1940, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt won an unprecedented third term. The 22nd Amendment (1951) now limits the president to eight years in office.

George Washington was unanimously elected as the first president of the United States of America after winning the American Revolutionary War as the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army.

But within Washington's impeccable character, one quality stood out the most – a unique immunity to the corrupting effects of power, which stemmed from his selfless nature. "I often say of George Washington that he was one of the few in the whole history of the world who was not carried away by power," stated Robert Frost, "America's great poe...

George Washington Reads The Declaration of Independence Hi Friends: I have written much about the question of, if it weren't for sporting events, or if we weren't in a school ... how often would we hear the National Anthem, how often would we see, read, or hear those founding documents of our country ... such as "The Declaration of Independence?" About, not long ago, we had to memorize-and say aloud-such things as the "Preamble" or "Gettysburg Address?" Etc. So ... here is the reading of "The Declaration of Independence," which was the way the History Channel closed out its recent mini-series, "Sons of Liberty." I was able to find this version ... with sub-titles ... so that we could also read the words, as Jason O'Mara ended his portrayal of George Washington in the series ... Here i...

I am burning in a smoke-choked house but
Tonight is empty of warm glows and whispered good nights
Riot, disorder, set the banks on fire
Some old war song used to play here
Once I heard it and the sound it made was sad but hopeful
