Article 1 provides for the establishment of the bicameral Congress composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The various powers of the Congress and the respective houses, together with their methods of election, are enumerated in the article. The Seventeenth Amendment, passed in 1916, instituted the direct popular election of Senators and removed the power of their election from the state legislatures as had originally been provided in Article 1.

The answer depends on how you define "President."\n\nGeorge Washington was the first President of the United States under the current US Constitution.  However, the constitution was not ratified until 1789.  \n\nPrior to the constitution, the US was run under The Articles of Confederation from 1781-1789.  The first president under the Articles of Confederation was Samuel Huntington.\n\nThe US won its independence in 1781.  However, independence was declared in 1776.  At the time, the US was run by the Continental Congress.  Its presiding officer was John Hancock.\n\nThe attached article gives a complete list of presidents prior to the constitution.

The Legislative Branch was created by the U.S. Constitution.  Delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. The fifty-five delegates who signed this monumental political document were the best minds of the Colonies at the time. The Constitution was forwarded to the Congress and the following year was ratified by conventions in nine states, and made the law of the land.\n\nThe Legislative Branch:\n\nThe Congress is the Legislative Branch. Its main function is to pass laws. It also oversees the execution of these laws, and checks various executive and judicial powers\n\nThe Congress is bicameral- it is composed of two houses. One house is the House of Representatives, the other is the Senate.\n\nThe House of Representatives, or House for short, is composed of four hundred and thirty five members. Each state is allocated one or more representatives, based on its population as calculated by the decennial (once in ten years) Census. Each state is entitled to at least one representative. A state that is allocated more than one representative divides itself, as state procedures dictate, into a number of districts equal to the number of representatives it is entitled to elect. The people of each district vote to elect one representative to Congress. (States that have only one representative allocated choose at-large representatives- the state votes as one entire district.) The District of Columbia and a number of U. S. territories have been permitted to elect delegates to the House. These delegates may participate in debates, and sit and vote in committee, but are not allowed to vote in the full House. House members are elected every even-numbered year for two-year terms. The House is presided over by a Speaker, who is elected by the House.\n\nThe Senate represents the states equally. Each state chooses two senators, regardless of population. Originally, senators were chosen by their state's legislature. The Seventeenth Amendment (ratified in 1913), however changed that, and now senators are elected by the voters of their state. Senators are elected for six year terms. Every two years, at the same time as Representative elections, approximately one-third of the senators face elections. The Vice-President is President of the Senate, but only votes if there is a tie. The Senate also chooses a President Pro Tempore to preside in the Vice-President's absence (though, in practice, most of the time, senators from the majority take turns presiding for short periods).\n\nThe Senate and the House are both required to approve legislation before it becomes a law. The two houses are equal in legislative power, but revenue bills (bills relating to taxation) may only originate in the House, however, like other bills, the Senate's approval is still required, and the Senate may amend such bills, as with any other legislation.\n\nThe Senate holds additional powers relating to treaties and the appointments of executive and judicial officials. This power is known as "advice and consent." The Senate's advice and consent is required for the President to appoint judges and many executive officers, and also to ratify treaties. To grant advice and consent on treaties, two-thirds of the Senators must concur (agree).\n\nWhile most votes require a simple majority to pass, Senate rules allow a procedure called a fillibuster (essentially unlimited debate), that can only be ended by three-fifths vote. This effectively means that the minority can force supporters to get the support of three-fifths of members to pass the measure. Use of the fillibuster tends to be controversial. Whichever party is in the majority tends to call its use "obstructionism", while the other side sees it as an important check on the majority.\n\nThe House has the sole power to impeach federal executive and judicial officers. According to the Constitution, officers may be impeached for "trea

http://www.whitehouse.govJohn Adams \n\nLearned and thoughtful, John Adams was more remarkable as a political philosopher than as a politician. "People and nations are forged in the fires of adversity," he said, doubtless thinking of his own as well as the American experience. \n\nAdams was born in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1735. A Harvard-educated lawyer, he early became identified with the patriot cause; a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, he led in the movement for independence. \n\nDuring the Revolutionary War he served in France and Holland in diplomatic roles, and helped negotiate the treaty of peace. From 1785 to 1788 he was minister to the Court of St. James's, returning to be elected Vice President under George Washington. \n\nAdams' two terms as Vice President were frustrating experiences for a man of his vigor, intellect, and vanity. He complained to his wife Abigail, "My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived." \n\nWhen Adams became President, the war between the French and British was causing great difficulties for the United States on the high seas and intense partisanship among contending factions within the Nation. \n\nHis administration focused on France, where the Directory, the ruling group, had refused to receive the American envoy and had suspended commercial relations. \n\nAdams sent three commissioners to France, but in the spring of 1798 word arrived that the French Foreign Minister Talleyrand and the Directory had refused to negotiate with them unless they would first pay a substantial bribe. Adams reported the insult to Congress, and the Senate printed the correspondence, in which the Frenchmen were referred to only as "X, Y, and Z." \n\nThe Nation broke out into what Jefferson called "the X. Y. Z. fever," increased in intensity by Adams's exhortations. The populace cheered itself hoarse wherever the President appeared. Never had the Federalists been so popular. \n\nCongress appropriated money to complete three new frigates and to build additional ships, and authorized the raising of a provisional army. It also passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, intended to frighten foreign agents out of the country and to stifle the attacks of Republican editors. \n\nPresident Adams did not call for a declaration of war, but hostilities began at sea. At first, American shipping was almost defenseless against French privateers, but by 1800 armed merchantmen and U.S. warships were clearing the sea-lanes. \n\nDespite several brilliant naval victories, war fever subsided. Word came to Adams that France also had no stomach for war and would receive an envoy with respect. Long negotiations ended the quasi war. \n\nSending a peace mission to France brought the full fury of the Hamiltonians against Adams. In the campaign of 1800 the Republicans were united and effective, the Federalists badly divided. Nevertheless, Adams polled only a few less electoral votes than Jefferson, who became President. \n\nOn November 1, 1800, just before the election, Adams arrived in the new Capital City to take up his residence in the White House. On his second evening in its damp, unfinished rooms, he wrote his wife, "Before I end my letter, I pray Heaven to bestow the best of Blessings on this House and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise Men ever rule under this roof." \n\nAdams retired to his farm in Quincy. Here he penned his elaborate letters to Thomas Jefferson. Here on July 4, 1826, he whispered his last words: "Thomas Jefferson survives." But Jefferson had died at Monticello a few hours earlier.

John Adams\n"By a legislative oddity, while Jefferson had outpolled Adams, he was technically tied with Burr, as the Democratic-Republican electors had failed to distinguish between the two candidates even though Jefferson was clearly earmarked as the leader. Burr, sensing an unforeseen opportunity to become chief executive, refused to relinquish his claim, and the election was thrown to the House of Representatives for a decision." However, that doesn't mean he almost BEAT him. Be more clear in the wording of your question.

John Adams and John Quincy Adams were Unitarians. So were about half of the founding fathers who came from Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire.

John Hanson, actually. He was elected and served from November 5,1781 to November 3,1782. The next paragraph is from AOL search engine.\n\n>> Six other presidents were elected after him - Elias Boudinot (1783), Thomas Mifflin (1784), Richard Henry Lee (1785), Nathan Gorman (1786), Arthur St. Clair (1787), and Cyrus Griffin (1788) - all prior to Washington taking office. Why don't we ever hear about the first seven Presidents of the United States? It's quite simple - The Articles of Confederation didn't work well. The individual states had too much power and nothing could be agreed upon. A new doctrine needed to be written - something we know as the Constitution. \n\nGeorge Washington was definitely not the first President of the United States. He was the first President of the United States under the Constitution we follow today. And the first seven Presidents are forgotten in history.<<

Congress is the legislative branch, and there is no universal head of congress, because congress has two houses.  The senate is chaired by the vice-president.  The House of Representatives is chaired by the speaker of the house.

In the 1824 US presidential election, none of the candidates received 50% of the electoral votes.  This meant that the election would be decided by the House of Representatives.  John Quincy Adams, who had received only 84 electoral votes compared with Andrew Jackson's 99 votes, was confirmed President.
