...yes he was the thirteenth president of the united states and he was the president of the continential congress
Actually... Millard Fillmore was the thirteenth President of the United States, not John Hancock. John Hancock served only as President of the Second Continental Congress, the governing body of the original colonies. They presided throughout the term of the Revolutionary War and the writing and signing of the Declaration of Independence.
No, he was the 2nd President of the Second Continental Congress and the 7th President of the United States in Congress Assembled. This takes nothing away from him as a founding father, his importance in the Revolutionary Period of the US will always exist, both for his participation and for his leadership.
Yes, John Hancock was the first US President. The USA was born on July 4th, 1776 not April 30, 1789 when George Washington was inaugurated. John Hancock signed his name large on the Declaration of Independence not because he was making fun of King George's eyesight, but because he was the leader of the newly declared (u)nited States of America.

No, John Hancock was Seventh President of the United States in Congress Assembled November 23, 1785 to June 5, 1786.
He presided over the Second Congressional Congress which passed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, before the Constitution existed.

True.
you dumb monkey fruitcake he was never president
John Hancock was a wealthy man. He was the 2nd President of the continetial congress. He was the coolest guy ever!!!
No. There was talk in 2009 & then renewed interest in 2012 but the project never happened.
John Hancock was born in the town of Braintree, Massachusetts, son of the Rev. John Hancock and Mary Hawke Hancock. John might have become a minister, but his father died when he was only seven years old, and his uncle Thomas Hancock adopted him. Growing up in the home of his childless aunt and uncle, John Hancock had a bright future ahead of him as the merchant Thomas Hancock was one of the wealthiest men in Boston.
He did inherited slaves from Thomas Hancock, and they worked for him. But John never bought or sold slaves, however, in his will he had the slaves he inherited to be declared free after his death.
soon after presidents could be elected, Hancock was elected president but never showed up for the inauguration. I guess you could call it the shortest term - zero days.
