George Washington became president because he was unanimously elected by the Electoral College in 1789 and again in 1792. He was chosen for his leadership during the American Revolutionary War, his commitment to establishing a strong federal government, and his reputation for integrity and selflessness. Washington's presidency set important precedents for the new nation and helped shape the office of the president.
