I think Washington was the greatest president, he could have been a king or emporer and turned it down. He organized what basically was militia into a military that defeated the best military in the world.

He started from scratch as President, didn't have anyone to learn from and was one of the founders in drafting the Declaration and organizing a government under the constitution.

He then served 2 terms and left setting the example that noone should violated until 1940 with FDR.

Washington was the greater president and Lincoln would be the first to recognize that.
