That is true. And his Farewell Address is still as apropos to the future, as at any time in the past:
Washington's Farewell Address.

Absolutely. GW was an incredible man. The people would have continued to re-elect him as long as he wanted, but he knew better & set a precedent for others to follow (which they did, until FDR came along).
Too bad we ignore what Washington said in his Farewell Address regarding "The Spirit of Party". Rather than looking to the Constitution as our guide for government, we care more about the politicians that are given to us by the party Establishment...& out nation's sovereinty, liberty, & way of life are @ risk as a result.
