please get it right if you chose to speak

George Washington was NOT English. He was born on February 22, 1732 in Westmoreland County, Virginia and, in fact, never even visited England.

He was elected President by the Electoral College after the constitution was ratified in 1787 and reelected in the more modern fashion for a second term by the people. At that time there was no term limit, it was Washington who decided that two terms was enough for him.

The Electoral College was formed due to the fact that the members of congress didn't think that the citizens of our new country were bright enough, nor informed enough to make decisions as important as electing the President... obviously we need to keep the electoral college just-in-case the Damocraps get lucky again. In case you were not aware of it, the members of the electoral college do NOT have to vote the same way the people vote... once again underlining the foresight of our forefathers.
