Section 1:The First President
Why It MattersGeorge Washington’s administration faced
the huge task of making the new government work. The Constitution had created the office of the presidency, but Washington established many procedures and customs.
The Impact TodayPresident Washington set many examples
that presidents still follow. These include creating a cabinet, directing foreign affairs, and serving as chief legislator.

What are precedents?
Washington had a hard job because no one had ever been president of the U.S.
Why was it harder to be the FIRST president?
G.W. knew that everyone would be carefully watching his every move. Future presidents would look to him for how TO or NOT TO do this job.
Precedents are examples or traditions that others follow.

A cabinet is NOT a piece of furniture or a place to file paperwork.
It is a group of advisors to the president.
