What was the name of the First President of the US?

He was the first president – serving for two terms and unanimously elected by all 69 electors in 1789, a few years after he’d presided over the Constitution’s adoption. He’s also the father of the nation. He didn’t like slaves and he lives on the lowliest of paper currency denominations – the one dollar bill. So he’s popular, but less valuable maybe than the others?

George Washington – the man who lent his name to the seat of the nation in the District of Columbia- that’s who.

Who is the US’s Father?

Dr. Phil needn’t get involved – there’s no paternity test or DNA swabs required for this one in the immigration test. The father of our country, the daddy of the United States of America is George Washington. It may be something to do with his part in the founding fathers – whose plural signifier makes me think that there was more than one baby daddy – or the fact that he was the first president. Which puts old George Washington as the correct answer for two potential questions on the exam.
