George Washington defined the office of the presidency in a lot of ways because he was the first person to hold the office. So, he set many precedents about what presidents do, and what they don't do. One of the things that he did was create a cabinet... a group of people to advise and counsel him. He also refused to serve for a third term, a precedent that later became law.
