Blacks in South Carolina had petitioned R. W. Elliot, chairman of a local school board, for a used bus. Elliot replied, "We ain't got no money to buy a bus for your nigger children." When Black parents offered to buy a bus, South Carolina refused to be responsible for its repairs. Soon after [Joe Wilson] defamed President [Barack Hussein Obama] on the floor of Congress, he called him to apologize. The term "apology" is not to be found in Black's Law Dictionary, however. It should only be used by a person who is facing punishment. So far, Congress has refused to oust Wilson. Its first president was John Hanson, a Moor. When the Iroquois Confederacy noted that the Articles of Confederation were unworkable, the "revisionist fathers" went back to the drawing board and rewrote the "Supreme L...
The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781, with the adoption of the Articles of Confederation. This was before the Constitution. No one had been president, and the role was not well defined. Hanson's actions in office would set precedent for all future presidents. As troops threatened to overthrow the new government and crown Washington as king, all the members of Congress ran for their lives, leaving Hanson as the only man left running the government. Congress, including Washington, chose [John Hanson] unanimously. So in November 1781, Hanson became the first president of Congress. As stated in the Articles of Confederation, Hanson was elected for a one-year term. [...] the first president of the United States was John Hanson from 1781 to 1782.
In 1777, the Second Continental Congress approved the Articles of Confederation, a precursor to the Constitution of the United States. * In 1939, President Roosevelt laid the cornerstone of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington.
In 1956, a Senate joint resolution was passed, and the then president proclaimed Sept. 17-22 . In 1781, 13 states signed the Articles of Confederation. In 1787, the delegates from the states met to rewrite this document, but found it such a hard thing to do, that they decided to write a new Constitution. On Sept. 17, 1787, 39 of the 55 delegates signed the Constitution.

President George Washington was the one indispensable person in the creation of America. He was the commander of the Continental Army during the Revolution. He presided over the Constitutional Convention. He was unanimously elected the first president under the Constitution. He therefore rightfully is called the father of our country. However, the United States did not begin with the Constitution being written and ratified. It began with the Declaration of Independence in 1776. There were two representative bodies and three documents preceding the Constitution, all of which served as instruments of government for what we now call our country. Each document established the office of president.
