1. The Cabinet

3. The Title
On February 22, 1789, George Washington turned 57, knowing he had won a unanimous election as his nation's first president -- indeed, the first popularly elected president in world history. His election, however, presented him and the rest of the nation with an unexpected problem. He was to take his oath of office before the First Congress in, but 10 weeks -- on April 30, and no one knew what to call him.
During the Revolutionary War, Americans called him "Your Excellency" or, more simply, "General," in keeping with customs the world over. But there were no precedents for addressing an elected president. No other nation had ever elected a president.
President Adams had been infatuated by the pomp of European courts he had visited as an American minister during the Revolutionary War, and he suggested addressing Washington as "Your Highness" or "Your Most Benign Highness." … One senator suggested calling Washington "Most Illustrious and Excellent President,” "His Majesty the President!" another called out.
After a few more days of debate, one congressman re-examined the Constitution and reminded his colleagues that it prohibited titles. After murmurs of surprise diminished, members finally adopted the Republican simplicity of "Mr. President" -- setting the standard for generations of American presidents to come.

11. State of the Union address
State of the Union Messages to the Congress are mandated by Article II, Section 3 of the United States Constitution: "He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient;"
George Washington established the precedent that clarifies the phrase "from time to time." Since 1790, with occasional exceptions, State of the Union messages have been delivered once annually.
On January 8, 1790, President George Washington delivered to Congress the first State of the Union address in American history. This address presented defense, foreign policy, economic, education, and immigration related topics to gathered representatives and senators in Federal Hall, New York City.

12. Hey Congress, so this is what’s going on…

13. Farewell Address
Many Americans had hoped or assumed that Washington would serve a third term or even until his death. As Washington’s second term came to a close in early 1797, he was in poor health, exhausted from years of internal fighting amongst members of his cabinet and ready to retire to his beloved plantation in Virginia.
When he was stepping down as President Washington did something that became a tradition—he gave a “goodbye” speech that became known as the Farewell address. In addition to laying out his hopes for America’s future, the address called for an end to divisive politics and maintained that Washington’s decision not to run for a third term was in the best interests of the country. Washington reminded the people that his position as president was designed to be temporary. He believed it was his patriotic duty to uphold the Constitution and pass on his role as the nation’s top public servant to someone else.

14. Goodbye people!

15. Veto power
Veto is Latin for "I forbid". It is used when a President rejects a bill and returns it unsigned to Congress. Washington first established this power when he vetoed a bill designed to apportion representatives among the several states.

17. Salary
There was no already pre-determined salary for the job of President. The first US Congress voted that Washington should be paid a salary of $25,000/year. Washington declined in order to help maintain his image of a public servant. Upon more consideration and persuasion, he accepted, so that future presidents wouldn't be limited to wealthy individuals who do not require a salary. He wanted anyone, rich or poor, to be given the chance to be President.
