This weeks subject: Presidents

It’s not often that everyone agrees on something, but that was the case when George Washington was chosen unanimously to be the first president of the United States. Though initially reluctant to accept, he worked for eight years to help establish a new nation. In the last 200 years, the job of the president has changed, as 40 other people have held the high post.
