I don´t really know much about the 1st president of the Philippines or that of Germany. Yes, I know their names but not much.
Last night, I was not often here. I spent the night watching the tv series about George Washington. Very interesting man. I knew before watching the series that he was the first president of the United States but I didn´t know much about his life and what he had achieved. A remarkable man. We will continue watching tonight.
For those who are interested, here is a link for you to check.
Thank you for reading. Enjoy your first weekend of February.
Watch a short biography video of George Washington and learn about the life of the first President of the United States. #Biography Subscribe for more Biogra...

I see. That is good. I have learned about it in school but not all. Besides that, I already forgot what was taught. Thank you @RebeccasFarm

He was the right man to be our first President. After helping win our war for independence on the battlefield he was admired so much by the public he could of made himself King. But instead he helped establish the two term system of the Presidency as he did not seek to run a 3rd time. He is called the Father of His Country for his great leadership during the beginnings of our nation.

Washington was an interesting man. So was John Adams (2nd president). There are a couple of great books about the US presidency.

I don't know much but we have a Prime Minister rather than a President. Robert Walpole is generally accepted as Britain's first Prime Minister. He was also the longest serving Prime Minister by modern historian's definition.

Thank you for the information @pumpkinjam. Of course, I know that you have a Prime Minister instead of a President.

I don't know much about our first president either. History was one of my BAD subjects.
