Washington was commander of the American troops. He went to Congress in a blue wool uniform with brass buttons he had tailored just for the occasion and must have made quite a sight. He was over six feet tall, in his prime, with red hair, and had a demanding power. His argument to Congress was that he had served as a British officer in the French and Indian war and was the only one with experience.
