As the second president of the United States, Adams had big shoes to fill. But why might it have been even more difficult for George Washington as the nation’s first president?

As the first POTUS Washington had to start from "scratch". New organized ideals of government for, and by the people was a steep task to complete. Compared to Adams, who already had a blueprint, this made his job much more complicated. Keep in mind only the original amendments to the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights were in play at the time. this was a new frontier for President Washington, and the USA as a whole.

He was a general in the war and he was a president. He has two really important jobs. Another thing why is that he has almost no teeth and he has to have fake teeth that are made with hippo teeth.They are not very comfortable.Imagine wearing that all day.That is why George Washington has a more difficult time than Adams.

(what would big feet matter anyway)

(I bet Lebron james has big feet too) You got to admit lots of peopel have big feet.
