Well we all learned in elementary school that George Washington was the first president, but how about the others? If you're familiar with our leaders you know that Thomas Jefferson was the second president and John Adams was the third. My friend recently gave me a list of presidents he thought we'd have if Adams won the election of 1796 and Jefferson won the election of 1800 instead of the other way around. It looked like this:
1. George Washington (1789-1797)

What do you think about this new list of presidents?
