Why do you think Washington wanted the president to be accessible to American citizens?

Washington wanted to make sure that nobody thought of the President as being a king or a royal personage. He insisted on being called "Mr. President" instead of "your highness" or some other term used for royalty. He did not want to be paid for his service as President. He thought of the president as a public servant, hired by the people to run the country, so of course, he had to be be accessible to citizens who wanted to contact him. (Security was not a big issue then. After being shot at for many years in battle, I suppose that Washington was not much afraid that a private citizen would be a threat. When the farmers in Pennsylvania revolted over the whiskey tax, Washington rode out in person at the head of a company of militia called up to quell the revolt. Nobody shot at him. )

Who was the first president born in north America?
According to Answers.com, George Washington was born in Virginia, and since he was the first US President, that makes him the first Natural Born President.Special:ContributionsGeorge was President under the grandfather clause and was NOT a "natural born" American citizen. There were no "natural born" American citizen Presidents UNTIL both parents were American citizens AND the person who became President was born under American sovereignty of those American parents.Article II of the Constitution was taken directly from Vattel' "Law of Nations". It clearly indicates that to be a "natural born" citizen your parents (PLURL) HAD to be citizens when you were born.The only time that citizenship comes into play in America is ONLY with the offices of President and Vice President of the United States. It is a stricter qualification of citizenship.
