477234
Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 N.S. – July 4, 1826) was the third President of the United States (1801–1809), principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and one of the most influential founders of the United States. Major events during his presidency include the Louisiana Purchase (1803), the Embargo Act of 1807, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806).\n\nA political philosopher who promoted classical liberalism, republicanism, and the separation of church and state, he was the author of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom (1779, 1786), which was the basis of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. He was the eponym of Jeffersonian democracy and the founder and leader of the Democratic-Republican Party which dominated American politics for over a quarter-century and was the precursor to today's Democratic Party. Jefferson also served as the second Governor of Virginia (1779–1781), first United States Secretary of State (1789–1793), and second Vice President (1797–1801).

False!  He was not the first president of the United States.  There was someone else, although I'm not sure of his name.  The inaguration I beleive was either in Philadelphia or New York.

George Washington is by far the best President to date. He had no idea what he was getting himself into, but took the job anyway. He served the Untied States in the same way he had served the colonies during the Revolution, with complete control and undying support. When asked if he would continue into a third term, he declined. Hell, they tried to make the guy king at first.\n\nOn the complete other side of the spectrum is FDR. He became the country's first elected emperor. It is his fault that the current federal government is so huge. They have to have agencies to watch agencies now because of his liberal reforms. I admit that during the Great Depression, his reforms helped a small portion of the country, but after the War those programs should have been faded out. Instead he set the precedent for the federal government to control every aspect of our lives.

Reagan. He gave America back it's pride. Had another weak president followed Carter, Ford, and Nixon this country would be much less than it is.

I disagree with the previous answerer Bush SR. only served one term not two. Thomas Jefferson was the only person to serve one term as vice president [John Adams 1797-1801] and two terms as president, 1801 to 1809.

There have been 3 Georges.\n\n(George Bush Sr.  George Bush Jr. and George Washinton)\n\nSo you could say 'King George III' if that's what you're getting at.

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.<<
