George Washington The first President of the United States under the Constitution of the United States of American was George Washington. Before the Constitution was written, the United States was governed by the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, from 1781 until 1789. During that time, there was no Chief Executive in the sense that the President was under the Constitution. However, there was an office called "President of the United States in Congress Assembled." The person in this office was presiding officer of the Congress, chaired the Cabinet when Congress was not in session, and performed other administrative duties. The first President of the United States in Congress Assembled was Samuel Huntington, who served from 1 March to 9 July 1781. Huntington was a delegate from Connecticut to the Continental Congress and later served as Chief justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court and as Governor of Connecticut.
