53 not 45

[Smackdown2019]

Do you know who is John Hanson?

How about the following?

Elias Boudinot
Thomas Mifflin
Richard Henry Lee
John Hancock
Nathan Gorman
Arthur St. Clair
Cyrus Griffin




The above names are your first US Presidents of the United States.


Ok, you stumped? Where is Washington?

Well George Washington was the NINTH US President of the United States.

John Hanson was the first President, who gave us the forth Thursday of November, Thanksgiving, the Presidential Seal, created the US Treasury, ordered all national flags of foreign countries removed, and a few other things during his ONE year term as our US President in 1781.

So the 45th President is actually Richard Nixon, our impeached President is actually the 53rd US President.

So when you see the 45th stickers... SNICKER at them... lol.

1. Not quite.

The Articles of Confederation were thrown out when the constitution was ratified.

The men you named were President of the United States in Congress Assembled. They were appointed by Congress and were more akin to Prime Ministers than to what the presidency became under the constitution. Not one of them was elected. They were all appointed by Congress and had minimal powers.

2. Major General Arthur St. Clair is my ancestor

He was a President of the Continental Congress and the first Governor of the Northwest Territory, as well as a close friend of George Washington, but he was never PotUS.

3. We will snicker at you.

None of those people were presidents of the U.S. The U.S. came into being when the Constitution was ratified in 1789.

4. Who could forget Thomas Mifflin's great-great-great-great-great grandson Dunder

5. I used to tease my 10th grade students with, "Who was the first president of the United States?"

6. When I was 14...I thought this was clever.

As others have pointed out, its really not.
