George Washington, the man was very selfless and loyal to his country.  Plus, if it weren't for him, we'd have a king for a ruler in the US, not a president.

George Washington did not create the cabinet, but he did urge Congress to recognize the deparments of foreign affairs, treasury and war. Once Congress approved of the President's request, Washington appointed the first members to serve in that executive branch capacity.\n\nThey included:\n\nThomas Jefferson (Sec'y of Foreign Affairs, though the name was quickly changed to Secretary of State)\n\nAlexander Hamilton (Secretary of the Treasury)\n\nHenry Knox (Secretary of War)\n\nEdmund Randolph (Attorney General)\n\nIn the original cabinet, the Attorney General was not the head of the Department of Justice

I assumed you were talking about George Washington...\n\nAfter retiring from the presidency in March 1797, Washington returned to Mount Vernon with a profound sense of relief. He established a distillery there and became probably the largest distiller of whiskey in the nation at the time, producing 11,000 gallons of whiskey and a profit of $7,500 in 1798.\n\nDuring that year, Washington was appointed Lieutenant General in the United States Army (then the highest possible rank) by President John Adams. Washington's appointment was to serve as a warning to France, with which war seemed imminent. While Washington never saw active service, upon his death one year later, the U.S. Army rolls listed him as a retired Lieutenant General, which was then considered the equivalent to his rank as General and Commander in Chief during the Revolutionary War.\n\nWithin a year of this 1798 appointment, Washington fell ill from a bad cold with a fever and a sore throat that turned into acute laryngitis and pneumonia and died on December 14, 1799, at his home. Modern doctors believe that Washington died from either a streptococcal infection of the throat or, since he was bled as part of the treatment, a combination of shock from the loss of blood, asphyxia, and dehydration. One of the physicians who administered bloodletting to him was Dr. James Craik, one of Washington's closest friends, who had been with Washington at Fort Necessity, the Braddock expedition, and throughout the Revolutionary War. Washington's remains were buried at Mount Vernon.\n\nFollow the link for more information.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_washington

General Washington was general in 1783.\n\nThe grade of General of the Armies of the United States is associated with two officers in our history, George Washington and John J. Pershing, although only General Pershing actually held it.\n\nAfter Washington's death, an Act of May 14, 1800, specifically authorized President Adams to suspend any further appointment to the office of General of the Armies of the United States, "having reference to economy and the good of the service." Although the office was not expressly referred to in any of the actions taken to reduce or disband forces that had been raised in contemplation of war with France, it ceased when it was not mentioned in the Act of March 16, 1802, which determined the peacetime military establishment. \n\nCongress enacted legislation authorizing the grade of General of the Army on July 25, 1866, and on that date the new grade was conferred on Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant. The grade was recognized and continued in various acts until the Act of July 15, 1870, which contained the requirement that "the offices of general and lieutenant general shall continue until a vacancy shall exist in the same, and no longer, and when such vacancy shall occur in either of said offices shall become inoperative, and shall, by virtue of this act, from thence forward be held to be repealed."

My name is Hugh G. Reckshun and I was actually the first president of the US. Those that tell you is was George Washington are all part of a matrix-style conspiracy here only to control you and your mind. Do not believe them.
