George Washington shaped the presidency by establishing lasting powers and precedents that continue to influence how Americans view the office and how the executive branch functions today.
Washington left office nearly 230 years ago (March 4, 1797). We have had over four dozen Presidents since then. And yet many of the actions Washington took and many of the decisions he made still impact the way we citizens look at the Presidency and the manner in which the Executive branch of the Federal government functions. Washington acknowledged he was not an intellectual but he had common sense and the ability to select the right person for the right job – especially Alexander Hamilton as the first Secretary of the Treasury. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear! From out of the past..... George Washington enters centerstage. REGISTER
