Why teach civics? Why teach political science? Why be a Boy or Girl Scout?
IT, truth, doesn't matter. It's all a lie!
Thanks Senate Republicans for showing the facts and that truth doesn't matter in the Trump Years. Party above country! The question is will they ever matter again in the U.S. ? WE THE PEOPLE what a joke you gave made of the Constitution and the Founding Fathers. Talk about playing into Putin's hands. I REALLY wonder about some of you and wonder if you aren't Russian assets. You have betrayed the U.S. and left us with TRUMP. You all need to be voted out of office!
George Washington was the commander of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) and served as the first President of the United States of America (1789-1797). For his central role in the formation of the United States, he is often referred to as the father of his country.
Washington was baptized into the Church of England. In 1765, when the Church of England was still the state religion, he served on the vestry (lay council) for his local church. Throughout his life, he spoke of the value of righteousness, and of seeking and offering thanks for the "blessings of Heaven."
The Electoral College elected Washington unanimously in 1789, and again in the 1792 election; he remains the only president to receive 100% of the electoral votes.
Washington proved an able administrator. An excellent delegator and judge of talent and character, he held regular cabinet meetings to debate issues before making a final decision. In handling routine tasks, he was "systematic, orderly, energetic, solicitous of the opinion of others but decisive, intent upon general goals and the consistency of particular actions with them.
Washington died in 1799. He has been consistently ranked by scholars as one of the greatest U.S. Presidents.
