One significant precedent set by George Washington was the establishment of a two-term limit for U.S. Presidents. By voluntarily stepping down after two terms in 1796, he set a standard for future presidents, reinforcing the idea of a peaceful transfer of power and preventing the potential for an authoritarian rule. This tradition was later codified in the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution in 1951.
George Washington set this precedent when he refused to run for a third term despite encouragement from many to do so.
