There was no president when the Declaration of Independence was signed. At the time, in July 1776, Washington was General, and as a newly born nation in the throes of war, they did not have time or have the right man yet to elect a president. The first President, George Washington, was elected in 1789. He served the country from 1789-1797, when John Adams was elected as second president.
