Since it's Presidents Day I figured I'd inquire about him.

TD Historians, where do y'all rank him?

The Man literally could have been king and turned it down. Absolutely the GOAT president for that reason alone.

The President that set the precedent for only 2 terms.

He's definitely my #1. The great thing about Washington is the man knew he had flaws and worked tirelessly to overcome them. While that might seem simple, it's a rare trait to see performed successfully - especially in the realm of politics.

The GOAT. He even made a couple of appearances on SNL.

Oh, and he would've deported the Somali's, Ilhan, and AOC (She's too stupid to be in the country).

One of them dealt with books. Washington was surrounded by our early leaders who had devoured all the great books of English authors. Some of them wrote numerous books. Washington admitted that he rarely read books.
The weirdest thing about him was that he met his wife after they became engaged to be married. They hardly knew each other until after the wedding and yet they grew deeply in love over the years.

That actually happened a lot in the past. This idea of marrying for love and not for convenience is relatively new in the human experience, especially amongst royalty/nobility.

His spy ring during the war was pretty cool.

He ate corn on the cob with wooden teeth then picked his teeth with a coon dick toothpick.

That’s pretty awesome

No argument here. We should not have won and did.
That was all him and those with him.
He had the reigns of power and gave them up.
