George Washington

Washington sworn into office by Associate Justice William Cushing

Monday Mar 4, 1793
Congress Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.

Washington, with nominal fanfare, arrived alone at his inauguration in his carriage. Sworn into office by Associate Justice William Cushing on March 4, 1793 in the Senate Chamber of Congress Hall in Philadelphia, Washington gave a brief address and then immediately retired to his Philadelphia presidential house, weary of office and in poor health.
