George Washington did not want to be president of the new country. He had led the troops in the fight against the British; he helped write the constitution; he was tired, and wanted to go home. Besides, the idea of being president made him nervous! But the people wanted George to be president, and wouldn't support the United States unless he was. George reluctantly agreed. This is a warm, and humorous look at George's feelings about being president, and how he shaped the presidency.
