How was your Fourth of July this year fellow Yankees? Did you scare the pets with explosions and eat cheeseburgers until you felt sick because it was America's Birthday?
Everyone thinks they know that the first president of the United States was George Washington and he was unless you count me and the other 13 Presidents before him.
The First Continental Congress began meeting before the American colonies declared independence from Great Britain and to watch over the proceedings of the Continental Congress, we elected a President, and the first person to hold the new office was me as i had studied in London and was a member of the English law society had contacts in Britain who were being dicks towards us, not that it's my face on the US one dollar bill.
This office of President of the Continental Congress carried on during the American Revolution and afterward too. When the first attempt at a constitution, the Articles of Confederation, was ratified, the young United States continued to have a President until the Articles were replaced by the Constitution of the United States. This replaced the old government and created a new executive branch led by the president of the United States. Old wooden teeth was elected to this new position, and the presidents of old were conveniently forgotten.
Why don't we ever hear about the old presidents, then? Mainly because we didn't really do anything what with it being a ceremonial position that presided over debates regarding how to achieve independence and do little else, the early U.S. was pretty much just winging it but we were the leaders of the Nation during the American Revolutionary War and trying to steer America to it's independence.
I only lasted 47 days in the position before having to step down after falling ill and Henry Middleton was elected to replace me but he ended up spending just six months in the position before i came back to not only be the First President but the third as well but i found i wasn't as healthy as i thought and stepped down again as President in favour of John Hancock who was the actual 4th President and i actually died while dining with Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd or 17th guy depending on how you count us but i was definitely number one and therefore propose that Washington DC is renamed Randolphville.
