George Washington initially declined to accept a salary for his service as commander-in-chief during the Revolutionary War and later as president because he believed that public office should not be a means for personal gain. He viewed his leadership as a civic duty and felt that accepting payment could undermine his integrity and the integrity of the office. Washington also aimed to set a precedent for future leaders, emphasizing that serving the nation should be motivated by patriotism rather than financial reward. Ultimately, he accepted a salary as president but donated a portion of it to charity.
