Well, the congress flirted with the idea of switching horses and replace Washington with Gates (Conway Cabal).

True--he was a great diplomat with congress, but his troops loved him which, I believe, was even more important. His troops came through for him more often than congress.

But, we quibble. The fact that people who have read about the RevWar and the General give many different answers to the question: "What was Washington's greatest strength?" only speaks well of him.

I was reading that Christie’s is auctioning off Washington’s own, hand annotated copy of the Constitution he used when starting work as the President. He put his name on it like you would your copy of a working paper or printed instruction manual.

Someone can get me that for Father’s day.
