No it’s actually true. Before George Washington, the Continental Congress elected a new President for a one year term each year. This happened 12 times before Washington was elected in 1789. I heard about it on Pawn Stars.

No. History fail. Please read history books instead of getting ‘facts’ from a reality show.

Continental Congress Presidents were not Constitutional Presidents of the United States. Those “presidents” ‘presided’ over the Continental Congress(es) much in the way the Vice President ‘presides’ over the Senate.

Continental Congressional Presidents did not preside over the not-then-created Executive Branch of the United States as Constitutional Presidents of the United States do. They were not Executive Officers in serving in the capacity that Presidents starting with G.Washington do.
