How many times was George Washington elected?

Answer 1

Washington was the only president never elected to his office - he was acclaimed to it. He served two terms, and could have served to his death, but thought no one person should serve more than two terms.

Answer 2

Two terms, 8 years. He was appointed to the first term by the Continental Congress, and elected the second time in the first general election in the history of America.

While the rule about a President serving only two terms did not come about until after FDR, Washington served two terms and then chose not to run again.

Answer 3

George Washington was elected to two terms. He had not meaningful opposition but he was duly elected in accordance with the new constitution. He no doubt could have been re-elected as long as wanted to serve, but he believed that no one should serve for more than two terms. His first term was a little short due to the difficulty in setting up the election machinery.

Answer 4

no, he was only once the president of America
