Under the Articles of Confederation, there was no chief executive, or even an executive branch, so the Continental Congress was the only federal authority, and a weak one at that.
The elected presiding officer of the Congress had some responsibilities that later became Presidential powers, but did not actually run the country.
The last President of the Articles Congress was Cyrus Griffin, who served from January 22, 1788 to November 2, 1788, nearly 4 months after the Constitution was officially ratified, rendering his position obsolete.

∙ 15y agoA Confederation Congress. The Articles of Confederation allowed for a single executive, but it would be a dumb idea since he wouldn't have any power. Since the Articles were more of a cobbling together of states as opposed to an actual union, the Confederation Congress delegates had the task of accomodating all the states.
