George Washington was an American political leader, military general, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797. He is often referred to as the 'Father of His Country.' Washington played a crucial role in the American Revolutionary War and was instrumental in the drafting of the U.S. Constitution. His leadership set many precedents for the federal government and the presidency, including the tradition of a two-term limit for presidents.
