President George Washington was elected the FIRST U.S. President by unanimous vote! I truly believe the only President who will be - political parties today are so divided. George Washington was so afraid of being seen as a monarch - so he only served two terms. He could have served a life time! He was popular and trusted! But he set a precedent! Due to only serving 2 terms every president only served two terms because Washington did. Then Franklin D. Roosevelt got elected to 4 terms, and Congress was so afraid America would get a Monarch or Dictator. So they passed the 22nd Amendment limiting a Presidential Term to 2 Terms.
President Washington never said the Farewell Address - it was published in Newspapers across the Country. He gave 3 Warnings to this new country!
