If john hanson was the real first president of the US why does George Washington get credit for being first when he wasn't?
George Washington was the first president of the United States. John Hanson was president of the Continental Congress which has little power and was nothing like the United States government. Furthermore, Hanson's position was mostly to chair the meetings of the convention- he was not at all like the US president. George Washington was the first "real" president.
Who was John Hanson?
President John Hanson was the Nations first President under the original United States Constitution that patriots fought and died for - the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union.The term "President of the United States in Congress Assembled" under the nations first government is used today when the President of the United States of America is present with a full Congress. President Hanson never presided over the Continental Congress I or II - he presided as the Nations first President of the United States of America after the Continental Congress was dissolved on March 1, 1781. His duties as President were independent of the Congress as the Office of the President was created and spelled out in the Articles. The Office of the President of the United States never intended to be the "Executive Office of the President" that was created in 1939 or "commander-in-chief" of the US military, but these additions were added later in the second adopted constitution and after Washington was President with the EXOP in 1939. John Hanson was truly our Nation's first President of the United States of America.

What are some of the issues regarding President Obama's health care overhaul?
The incredibly sad thought that the pharmaceutical industry MIGHT be the first to suffer the consequences of the inane garbage being offered as logic that represents the reasoning behind a need to overhaul health care. One simple fact is that the pharmaceutical industry represents ONLY 10% of the moneys exchanged between patient and provider!

Was john hanson president?
John Hanson (14 April [O.S. 3 April] 1715 - November 22, 1783) was a delegate to the United States in Congress Assembled from Maryland. Because he was the first President of Congressfrom Maryland to serve under a fully ratified Articles of Confederation (Maryland did not complete the process and sign until March 1, 1781), John Hanson has been called the First President of the United States in Congress Assembled.yes, John hanson was the very first president of the United States. While George Washington was at war, John hanson came and took over for him.A few problems with the above (ignoring the totally wrong bit about him taking over for Washington).1. The President of the Continental Congress (or President of Congress) was a totally different position than President of the United States. President of Congress was a ceremonial position, and held almost no power. It was simply the man chosen by the delegates to preside over the Continental Congress; he ensured that the delegates adhered to the agendas and rules of debate. It bore absolutely no resemblance to the position of President of the United States other than that it had a very similar name.2. John Hanson was not even the first President of Congress. There were MANY such Presidents before him. The first was actually Peyton Randolph, who was elected President of Congress in 1774- before the Revolutionary War even began! John Hancock was President of Congress the longest, for almost 2.5 years, and was in that position when the Declaration of Independence was signed in July 1776- this is probably the real reason why his name is signed much larger than everyone else (not the story invented later about making it big enough that the King wouldn't need his glasses).3. John Hanson was not even the first President of Congress after the Articles of Confederation were ratified! Samuel Huntington was the President of Congress when the Articles were ratified, and he stayed in the position for a few more months until he resigned due to illness. His successor refused to take the position, and Thomas McKean wound up being the next President of Congress (Hanson was McKean's successor).4. Nor was John Hanson the first President of Congress when the war ended! Thomas McKean was President when Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown in 1781; the war technically continued, however, until 1783. Elias Boudinot was President when the Treaty of Paris was ratified in September 1783, officially ending the war and establishing the United States as an independent nation.5. John Hanson was simply the first President of Congress who operated strictly under the rules set down in the Articles of Confederation. He otherwise has no claim to the title of "first President of the US". The Articles set guidelines for how to choose a President of Congress and how long his term lasted, but otherwise made no changes to the position; it was still a largely powerless and ceremonial position.6. George Washington was the first President of the United States. He took office in March 1789, after the Constitution was ratified. Congress was significantly changed by the Constitution; it became a bicameral legislature- a legislature that has two houses, each headed by their own officers (the Speaker of the House, and the Senate Majority Leader). The last President of Congress resigned in November 1788 and was not replaced.It is important to remember that the position of President of Congress is totally unrelated to the position of President of the United States. As stated above, the President of Congress had no real power. The President of the United States, on the other hand, is the Head of State (ie- the person who is considered to represent the entire country when dealing with other countries), as well as the person who wields supreme executive power in the United States government.
