Presidental Facts
George Washington had to borrow money to go to his own inauguration
At his inauguration, Washington had only one tooth. At various times he wore
dentures made of human or animal teeth, ivory or lead -- never wood.
Washington carried a portable sundial.
Washington's inauguration speech was 183 words long and took 90 seconds to read. It was hard for him to read
because of his false teeth.
Washington was one of two Presidents who signed the U.S. Constitution
When George Washington was elected President, there was a king in France, a czarina
in Russia, an emperor in China, and a shogun in Japan. Only the office of President
remains.
