Answer:

George Washington, our first U.S. President, is on the one-dollar bill.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "our first U.S. President" is considered a non-essential clause meaning that if you were to remove it, the sentence would still make sense. Whenever we have a non-essential clause in the middle of the sentence we put a comma on either side of it.
