Who was elected to first term with a unanimous electoral vote?
Many historians have said that George Washington was the only unanimously elected President (twice). However, the Constitution bases the winner of a presidential election on the votes of the majority of the appointed electors, not on the majority of the votes of the electors. Although in both 1789 and 1792 George Washington received a vote from every appointed elector who voted, there were some appointed electors who did not vote (four in 1789 and three in 1792). To further illustrate my point, if in 1789 37 electors had withheld their votes instead of four, and if every one of the remaining 36 electors voted for Washington, he would not have received enough votes to win the election, even though by some descriptions that would be a unanimous election. By the way, when James Monroe received the vote of every elector except one in 1820, many assumed that was done deliberately so that George Washington would remain the only "unanimously elected president." However, that one elector admitted some time later that he simply thought John Quincy Adams would make a better president.
