The first and only President of the United States of America to resign the Presidency was the 37th President, Richard Milhous Nixon. When he was sworn in for his first term of office in 1969, President Nixon was 56 years old. He was the second of the three Presidents the United States has had from the state of California, all of whom were members of the Republican party. President Nixon won reelection by landslide in 1972 and gave his famous "silent majority" speech during his second inauguration in 1973. President Richard Milhous Nixon resigned the Presidency in 1974 in order to avoid inevitable impeachment.

Everyone "knows" that Washington was the first of the (so far) 43 Presidents of the US. However, this isn't strictly the case. During the American Revolution, the Continental Congress (or the 'United States in Congress Assembled') chose Peyton Randolph as the first President. Under Randolph, one of their first moves was to create the Continental Army (indefence against Britain), appointing General Washington as its commander. Randolph was succeeded in 1781 by John Hancock, who presided over independence from Great Britain (see myth #6). After Washington defeated the British at the Battle of Yorktown, Hancock sent him a note of congratulations. Washington's reply was addressed to "The President ofthe United States". Eight years later, as a revered war hero, Washington himself became America's first popularly elected President - but strictly speaking, the FIFTEENTH President!
