Perhaps surprisingly, George Washington was not one of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. He wasn't able to be present during the signing because of official duties in the Colonial Army.

∙ 6y agoNothing with the Declaration, but he was the president of the constitutional convention. Reports state he never said a word as the discussions went on about the formation of the new government.
