George Washington was not our nation’s first president. He may have been the first Freemason POTUS, but he did not become President of the United States of America until 1789.
Who served as POTUS in our newly independent country for the six years following the end of the revolution?
Several men held the position: John Hanson (Nov 5 1781 – Nov 3 1782), Elias Boudinot (Nov 4 1782 – Nov 2 1783), Thomas Mifflin (Nov 3 1783 – Nov 29 1784), Richard Henry Lee (Nov 30 1784 – Nov 22 1785), John Hancock (Nov 23 1785 – Jun 5 1786), Nathaniel Gorham (Jun 6 1786 – Feb 1 1787), Arthur St. Clair (Feb 2 1787 – Jan 21 1788), Cyrus Griffin (Jan 22 1788 – Apr 30 1789), and Samuel Huntington (Sept 28 1779 – July 10 1781).
Why do these men seem to be left out of history books, forgotten by the world? Hmm. Perhaps they weren’t Freemasons. 🤷🏻♂️
Perhaps they served as Presidents of Congress under the Articles of Confederation and not the Constitution, and they are actually in the history books.

Wow! I knew Washington wasn't the first president, but didn't know so many were before him.
There is a difference between being the President of the Continental Congress and POTUS as we know it now.
