Where the American Presidency was Born
On April 30, 1789, outside Federal Hall, citizens, officials, and diplomats from France and Spain gathered in anticipation. At 1 p.m., George Washington arrived under military escort. Passing between rows of soldiers, he entered the Senate Chamber, where Vice President John Adams formally received him. Washington was then led to the balcony where with his hand upon a Bible, took the presidential oath, kissed the Bible, and bowed to the cheering crowd below. Returning inside, he delivered the first inaugural address, expressing both gratitude and humility before the immense responsibilities of leading the new nation. “On the one hand, I was summoned by my Country, whose voice I can never hear but with veneration and love [...] On the other hand, the magnitude and difficulty of the trust to which the voice of my country called me, could not but overwhelm with despondence”.
