No. The first US government, organized under the Articles of Confederation, lacked both Executive (President) and Judicial (Court) Branches. These were considered two of the weaknesses the Second Continental Congress authorized delegates to the Philadelphia Convention (now called the Constitutional Convention) to fix. They "fixed" the problem by creating the Constitution, the foundation of the second official United States government.
