It is my opinion that George Washington was our greatest president.

He could have been king or dictator, but rejected that role. He could have run for a third or more terms, as President, but did not.

On this President’s Day,  his farewell address, where he advises he will not seek a third term and gives his advice to the country is not outdated but is still very relevant, especially paragraphs 20-25 concerning the hazards of political parties.
