How much did the first congress want to pay whasington and why did he not want to accept it?
The First Congress offered George Washington an annual salary of $25,000 to serve as the first President of the United States. However, Washington was hesitant to accept the payment, believing that public service should be a duty rather than a means for personal gain. He also felt that accepting a salary could lead to perceptions of corruption or self-interest, so he ultimately decided to accept only a portion of the salary to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
