Non-White US President
No. In fact all the past US presidents have been WHITE MARRIED MALES except for James Buchanan, who remained a bachelor all his life. Grover Cleveland was also a bachelor during his first year in office (1885-6)
There were persistent rumors that Warren G. Harding was light-skinned African Americans "passing" as white, but no proof was ever forthcoming.
The above answer is wrong. John Hanson (a Moor) was actually the 1st President of the United States, he served from 1781 - 1782 and he was black. The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation. This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777. Maryland refused to sign this document until Virginia and New York ceded their western lands (Maryland was afraid that these states would gain too much power in the new government from such large amounts of land). Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to run against him, as he was a major player in the revolution and extremely influential member of Congress.
As President, Hanson ordered all foreign troops off American soil, as well as removal of all foreign flags. He established the Great Seal of the United States, which all Presidents since have been required to use on all Official Documents. He declared that the 4th Thursday of every November to be Thanksgiving Day, which is still true today. Even though elected, on variable that was never thought through was that American was not going to accept a Black President during the heart of the enslavement period. Enter George Washington.
Actually, the answer above this is the wrong one. There are two John Hanson, the white politician of the United States (who is the one mentioned above), and the black politician of Liberia. The Liberian Hanson is often confused in the Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hanson_%28Liberia%29
To correct all of you, Barack Obama!!!
He means previous to him!
