A tradition is not the same as a law. No one has to follow a tradition. Washington refused to run for a third term and that held up until Franklin Roosevelt decided to run a third time. Washington held an inaugural ball and that has continued more because it is good way to repay campaign supporters than because Washington did it. Similarly, Washington gave an inaugural address at each inauguration and that is still done, but not because Washington gave one, but because it is a chance to get a large audience. Washington gave some advice for the country in his farewell address, but most, if not all, of his warnings have been ignored.
